want to change computer sounds

[reisender]

How can I create sound files to change the standard sounds that my computer makes, such as startup, mouse click, etc.?
It requires wav. files, so I want to create shortened wave files form other wav. files, or from other formats such as avi, mpg, etc.  
Any programs out there specialising in this?  Keep it simple for me eh.  
Much appreciated.  My computer needs personality.

And this is related to programming how....?

as much as changing computer sounds is

or colours

Not really. Get your jargon right and post in the proper section.

A set of coded instructions that enables a machine, especially a computer, to perform a desired sequence of operations.

I donot see you code any instructions when you are merely trying to set Windows sounds, do you?

The word you're looking for is 'configuring'

To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses

And I see the "configuring" section where...?

How about software or Windows?
