How to Change Sound Notification in Outlook Express Continued:
When you click the Browse button, the following window opens. You can either choose a "wav" file from this folder or you can go to another folder on your hard drive and choose another wav file that you have saved.

In the sample below, we have chosen chimes.wav by clicking it once so that it highlights, then click OK.
You can test the sound you have chosen by clicking the "Preview" arrow below while a file choice is highlighted (see at the bottom, just above where it says Play Sound).
