Change drag 'n drop sound?

How do I change the sound played when you drag and drop something into a new folder? I know you can change the alert sounds under 'sound' in the system prefs...are there also sounds to choose from for drag and drop?

iBook, Powerbook Ti & 12" & 17", Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello Lisa,

I did some searching around on my system and found the OS sound files to be hidden in this folder:
System:Library:Components:CoreAudio.component:Contents:Resources:SystemSounds

To open the CordAudio.component you will have to "show package contents" by right-clicking (or control-clicking) to bring up the contextual menu.

I might suggest you back-up the sound files in case you decide to change back to them. You can keep them where they are and rename them from .aiff to .bak, or simply hide them in a different folder.
