How do I find out which sound files the user has configured in the control panel?

Example: I want to play the sound for ‘Device connected’.

Which API can be used to query the control panel sound settings?

I see that there are some custom entries made by third party programs in the control panel dialog, so there has to be a way for these programs to communicate with the global sound settings.

Edit: Thank you. I did not know that PlaySound also just played appropriate sound file when specifying the name of the registry entry.

To play the ‘Device Conntected’ sound:

::PlaySound( TEXT('DeviceConnect'), NULL, SND_ALIAS|SND_ASYNC );
