    So...
    I was looking for a way to change the sound you hear when you press your quick launch buttons.

    I've decided to do this the hard way, and search my hardrive for WAV files. that was a good start.
    Tought I'll share this information with you.

    I've found 2 WAV files in:
    C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Quick Launch Buttons
    vol.wav
    and
    vol3.wav

    vol3.wav was the sound file that get played when i press my quicklaunch buttons.
    don't figured out what vol.wav related to... but who cares.
    anyway, you can replace vol3.wav with another wav file you want instead, works like a charm.

    I know its not a grate achievment, but I'm sure this is some great news for some people.
    It would be great to replace the poor "tick" sound.

    Please comment if this found this information usefull, so I won't regrate this 10 minutes it took me to post this thread.
    Sorry for my English, I'm from Israel.
