Doorbell
we're fans of the Sound that Idratek have selected for Doorbell ...
it would be nice to be able to edit it down, to miss-out part of it ...
but, is there a way to do that, using standard tools that come with 'XP ...
any pointers, please ... ?

Idratek uses standard wav files. The sound editor I'd recommend is Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/. It's free and can do what you want.

Another 'lite' one is Wavosour. I'm not a seasoned user of either so just mention for passing interest

I like to have a seasonal doorbell, though it does confuse the kids when I change it or if the sample they are used to comes on the radio or music player!

many years ago (when such things were affordable) I used to go by train from London to Bath on a Friday ... and, in those days, at Paddington, they would play classical piano pieces on the Tannoy - Rachmaninov, Beethoven, etc, etc - very far from hi-fi, but more than OK, & not unlike the Beethoven of Doorbell playing on an MFP ... more than once, I waited for the following train ...
the Doorbell piece is especially good, too, because it goes on & on & never gets insistent - very civilised !
how about a recording of a watch, like the one at the end of one of the spaghetti westerns, for an intruder alarm, too ...
