Change default file manager, volume control, disable system bell

Greetings!

I'm a first time user of xfce on Debian wheezy 7.9.0 and so far i'm having some minor troubles.

1.) How do i change the deafult window manager? I've install openbox and it seems that i'm unable to use it. I've already tried changing Preffered applications->Utilities->File manager to no avail. I like thunar but it has no tabs, so i'd like to try openbox out.

2.) How can i make a volume control icon show on panel?

3.) How do i disable system bell? Every time a reach the end of a directory, searching for files, pcspeaker produces an annoying sound.

Thank you in advance.

Hello and Welcome

Xfwm4 = XFCE's default window manager .

Enter in a terminal , its important ! =

xfce4-about

For changing your window manager :

from xfwm4 to openbox : Enter in a Terminal =

openbox --replace

Or deconnect and reconnect you from your session and choose : "openbox"  .

Better not tell My Thunar that.

 

If you press Ctrl-t a new tab opens up.  I'm assuming you have the latest Thunar.
