Remember this is not a change - Windows XP does not have a "start up" sound - just on the logon etc so this is a new feature that you CAN turn off.

| | Re: you cant change the friken startup sound in vista The startup sound is IIRC, embedded in a dll. Very likely a hack will be out before too long to overcome this very very very minor annoyance (to some people).

I estimate that the start up sound, involving the composer, testers, listeners, etc cost ca. a million dollars to create. It is hardly worth it, IMO. The ability to turn it off is not useful. I want a start up sound to assure that my audio setup is active. I do NOT want this sound! |
