R5 ini file modification for incoming mail sound

Customizing
Our facist IT department has placed a lock down on the windows/media
folder on my main machine at work.

Previously I was able to alter the notes.ini file to point at a
different location for my wav file, but we are now running R5, when I
went in to change it, the change didnt take. Anyone run into this or
know the correct syntax to use?

Ive tried
NewMailTune=C:\Documents and Settings\stalin\My Documents\email.wav

Incoming Mail Sound=C:\Documents and Settings\stalin\My
Documents\email.wav



Notes Database says -
Syntax: Incoming Mail Sound=path\file
http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/dom...56008496f00a8f9185256c1d003a061f?OpenDocument

Anyone run into this or know the correct syntax to use?

 

Since it contains spaces, try putting quotes around the path:
NewMailTune="C:\Documents and Settings\stalin\My Documents\email.wav"

Still a no go though....

 

My previous post said to use "NewMailTune=" but that was wrong. My
NOTES.INI has an entry in this format, does not have the quotes and it
works.
Incoming Mail Sound=C:\Documents and Settings\stalin\My
Documents\email.wav
But - I'm running Notes 6. Maybe R5 needs the quotes, so try that, if you
haven't already.

Also, make sure there is only one "Incoming Mail Sound=" entry in NOTES.INI

Are you sure the WAV file is good? And that there are no OS permissions
preventing access?

Beyond that, I don't know what else to suggest.

I moved the file into the Notes root folder using the same syntax weve
been yapping about

Incoming Mail Sound=C:\Notes\email.wav

and it works, I put in path beyond just C:\Notes and it wont work,
interesting wonder if its something just in R5 that it wont look past
one level....who knows

Thanks Tim

I appeciate your assistance

 

I'm glad to hear that you found a workaround. Maybe R5 just doesn't like
the spaces in the path. For giggles, you could try using the 8.3 version of
the path, which would probably be similar to:

Incoming Mail Sound=C:\Docume~1\stalin\MyDocu~1\email.wav

Really odd. I tried the original syntax with an R5 client and it worked,
spaces and all:

Incoming Mail Sound=C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount\My
Documents\Sound.wav
