Changing Your Windows XP Startup and Shutdown Sounds

By: BlackAce227

As you might have already known, I like to mess with Windows XP a lot.  It just doesnt do what I want it to do.  Thats why we have Windows XP tweaks.  This tweak that I will be explaining is fairly simple and will be able to change the sounds of the Startup and Shutdown to whatever you want.  Interested? You must be, Considering your still reading.  This is a lot easier than it appears.  Moving on...

First, go to start -> Control Panel.  Once at the Control Panel, go to Sound, speech, and Audio Devices.  Then, under "Pick a Task", click "Change the sound scheme".  Make sure you are under "Windows Default".  Scroll almost all the way down until you get to Exit Windows.  Click on the browse button and pick your desired .wav file to replace the default.  I would sugest placing your new wave in the "C:\WINDOWS\Media" files.  Then click the apply button.  Now the next time you shutdown windows, you will hear the sound of your choice playing!  This also works with Windows Start, Windows Login, and Windows Logoff.  
I hope you enjoyed this small Windows XP tweak and will apply it to your own box.

Cheers!
