I know where the folder of the phone ringer tones is (windows/rings), but can someone tell me where the folder for alarm sounds is (the sounds you get in the drop down list when you click on the bell icon under clock alarms)?

Read on another post that the alarm tones will only accept wav files, and that they're located in the windows folder (rather than the rings subfolder). Going to try this out by adding a wav tone to the folder to see if it shows up in the drop down. Anyone know a free & decent wav tone website? Googled a few but all seem pretty crappy.

Or you can turn your mp3 toe wav
but that uses almost 75 mb from mp3 to wav

WMA didn't work for me either, WAV did show up in the drop down list but would reset to default setting when choosen. I had trimmed the WAV file down to 8 seconds before dropping it in the windows folder.
