"Play a selected sound" in "create Rule"

[Trish]

I want to use "create rule' "play a selected sound" to notify me of messages
from certain people. Screen is on "Create Rule" & "play a selected sound" is
not checked. The box beside "play a selected sound" says "chimes.wav"
When I check box for "play a selected sound" & do "Browse" to get to
'Control Panel' 'Sounds and Audio Devices', I get the message: 'The file
name, or format 'Control Panel" is not valid. Type the file name and
location in the correct format, such as c:\location\file name.'
I get this message whether I choose in "File of type:" 'sound files' or 'all
files.' And these are my only choices.
How do I make the 'Control Panel' 'Sounds and Audio Devices' file show up so
that I can choose from that group of sounds?
Thank you.

Not an Outlook problem but a problem with your Operating System. You may
want to post to a Windows group for your version of the Operating System.
