Get Windows Vista Sounds for Windows XP
First of sorry for being away for more than a week, I was busy with work both personal as well as professional which left me little time to blog. But now the busy period is almost over and I can return to blogging again 
. Well Sometime back I had written an article that described in detail how you can make your Windows XP PC look like Windows Vista.
This is just an extension of that post but this will make you Windows XP PC sound like Windows Vista.
There is a simple way in which you can replace the XP sounds with those of Vista.
Download
Download the Windows Vista sound pack and unzip it to a folder.
Backup
Navigate to C:\Windows\Media folder and make a backup of all the WAV files from that folder, so that you can rollback your changes if you are not satisfied with the Vista sounds.
Copy New Files
Copy all the new files from the unzipped folder to the C:\Windows\Media folder.
That’s it now your Windows XP PC will not only look like Windows Vista it will also sound like one . Have fun.
Do let me know your thoughts through your valuable comments.

Welcome back…you don’t have to feel sorry…
Guess it is cool to make XP look and sound like vista than to move to vista which may still need time to stabilize…moreover many applications and tools are not yet vista compatible…
after all XP took a long time(guess more than 1.5 years) to stabilize with numerous patches….
if you still want to have the vista looks and sounds for your PC…this is the coolest trick to apply…
