Re: turning off musical introduction on Vista

If you set 'no sounds' in the dropbox for that in the Sounds tab, you get to
choose which sounds you play individually

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "Clearing the Windows Log on space". But this Vista team blog says you can mute the start-up sound this way:

turning off musical introduction on Vista

How do I turn off the musical introduction when Vista boots up, right before
the "Welcome" screen? Clearing the "Windows Log on" space on the Sounds
section from the Control Panel doesn't do it. I was using Windows XP and
doing that worked there but now that I'm using Vista, it doesn't do it.
What should I do?

Re: turning off musical introduction on Vista

thanks. that did it. I was looking in the scroll-down window and never saw
the "Play Windows Start Up Sound box in the lower left.
