Empty Recycle Bin Sound Stopped Working

Greetings...

Just built my new system, put WinXP Pro SP2 on it, all the updates, etc., when suddenly I realized my "Empty Recycle Bin" sound wasn't working. I know it's not a big deal, but it's annoying. All other sounds work fine. I've tried every fix I could find on the topic, but no help. I have tried restoring original Windows Sound Scheme, other sounds, repairing Recycle Bin, etc.

As for other posted fixes:
I have Nero, but the reg value causing troubles is fine.
Tried: Sounds to none, reboot, Windows Default, reboot, custom sound, reboot. No luck.
Covered 3 different MS articles on sound issues, none helped.

The sound file is good (custom wav), and all other sound on my system is fine. I did read in a couple of places that apprently some Windows Update messes with Windows Sound Schemes... but that's about all I can think of.

Please, if anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

If you use a standard windows sound file instead of the (custom wav) does it work ok?

No. I've tried several different WAV files, including the default one, but no sound. The RB works fine, just no Empty sound.
