Get Windows Vista Sounds for Windows XP
Written under How To on Wednesday, 17th October 2007 . Jump to Comments
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.

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…
Hey indyank thanks, yups i would not upgrade to vista for me xp is the best one right now have been using it for 5 years now

Love the new sounds, refreshing, but still love XP, have not tried Vista but have heard a lot of problems exist.
