Hi Thomas!

You must be referring to WHOOPS.  Its an interesting concept, but given that
the PC speaker driver suspends all other activities while it puts out the
sound, I would find it tiresome to tag every event this way.  Actually doing
the trick is probably a matter of putting in a message filter hook function.
Look at SetWindowsHook.  The SDK used to warn that this degraded the 
efficiency of the system to intercept all messages.  It might be different 
now.

On the subject of newsgroups, comp.ms.windows.programmer has fallen into 
disuse since the comp.os. groups came on line.  The comp.os.ms-windows group
had to be subdivided because high volumes of "Is Not! Is Too!" messages were
detracting from the usefulnesss of the group.  The protagonists were arguing
about whether MSW is an operating system or a shell.  They have been 
banished to a .advocacy subgroup.
