Hello again!
this version of the registry patch has been modified from my original one in order to add a label name to each event, making easier to assign the sound values vía Control Panel – Sounds
I do not include the values for every sound key ’cause the path name changes depending on the Windows language, my one runs in spanish and it says “c:archivos de programa…” where the english version should say “c:program files…”, but the keys values in the message posted just above work Ok too and, you can include them to create your own version of the patch file.

Hope this information will be useful for all of you. Any comments will be welcome.
MSN Messenger 6.2 doesn’t install all the registry keys required under MS-Windows 2000. To solve this problem follow this 3 single steps that actually worked in my PC
1. Copy the blue text below and save it in your pc as a plain text file with .reg extension, e.g. msnsounds.reg (there must be a blank line after each line in the .reg file, including one blank line after the last “[HKEY…. ” line)

2. Locate the msnsounds.reg file that you just created using Windows Explorer and double click on it to run it. It will add the missing events keys to your windows registry.
3. Open the Control Panel, activate the Sounds option, locate the MSN Messenger events and add the desired sound to each one of them (you can also leave some events with no sound).
Any comments will be welcome.
