Fixing TortoiseCVS's shattering glass sound
TortoiseCVS plays an irritating sound when it encounters an error. It is downright embarrassing when you are sitting in a cafe and from your laptop comes this
shattering glass noise.
What's annoying is I couldn't find a way to change it or turn it off. I tried the usual places and searched the web. Still I couldn't get the noise to leave me alone. Finally I found the right place to do it. Go to Windows - Control Panel - Sounds and Audio Devices - Sounds Tab. Change the TortoiseCVS Error sound to something more gentle.

Enough to make one loose faith in open source programming :) You know it's some geek who has his stuff configured to never have an error and a your problem if you don't. Thanks for the fix!

great post thanks. It was even worse when listening to music on headphones, the shattering glass used to scare the hell out of me. So really, thanks.
