re: Sound icon. Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 3:37 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by dhm (990 messages posted) I guess you mean, The wave files default to SNDREC32.EXE to play them. Real Player, an obnoxious piece of bloatware/spyware which I refuse to allow on my system, took over the associations. While holding down Shift, right-click one of your AOL sounds. Select Open with from the menu that pops up. SNDREC will be a short way down the selection list. Check off the Always use this program to open this type of file box. That operation will give SNDREC32.EXE control again but it won't just play the sound and disappear. To do that would require you to use a more complex method of going thru the Folder Options and editing the usage and in the Play operation put in sndrec32.exe %1 /play /close .
