What exactly is it that you're asking?  You have therm and don't want them--or the other way around? :-?

i want to get an alert when i recieve an email through outlook express

[soybean]

Tools, Options, General tab, and check the box for "Play sound when new messages arrive".

[unlovedwarrior]

in the outlook express options? if so i could not find a general tab

[soybean]

Yes, in OE.  At the top of the Options panel, you should see "tabs" labeled General, Read, Receipts, etc.  

[unlovedwarrior]

this is what i see

[soybean]

You said, in your first post, outlook express.  Now, you're showing Outlook.  They are two different things.  

In Outlook, go to Tools, Options, Email Options, and click on the button for Advanced E-mail Options.  Check the box for "Play a sound".

im sorry for some reason i thought it was outlook express..

can u show me how to put a link in my signature like rob did with his web site?

[soybean]

It's the same code you see when insert a hyperlink in a message, the code that starts with url in brackets and ends with /url in brackets.  In the url part, you need to insert the web address after "url".  For example, if you wanted to link to http://www.mysite.com, you would insert that inside the brackets containing url.  Place an equal sign, =, after url, like this: [url=http://www.mysite.com   I'll leave the /url part out now, but you have to put it, with brackets around it, at the end of the string.

[soybean]

desktop thing?  You were asking how to put a link in your signature block, right?

[unlovedwarrior]

ok i cant get the link in my signature to work this is exactly what im typing
unlovedwarrior rises again come check out my new web site at
"""//"www.vmodeling.com"//""

[unlovedwarrior]

in my signature it doesnt give a link as you can see right now

[soybean]

unloved warrior

I know what you need but I don't know how to display it so that it shows the actual code and not the hyperlink.

Let's see if this does it:
{url=http://www.vmodeling.com/}unloved warrior{/url}

OK, now replace the { and } with [ and ]

[unlovedwarrior]

email it to me

or better yet put it in a text file and attach it

[soybean]

I just edited my message.  Take a look again.  If it's still not clear, I can attach a file.
