How do I get different Windows sounds on computers bootup?

[PowerMan57two]

I was over at my parents friends house cause he has satellite connection and he says "come on over anytime and download when you want to.. lol"

cause I have 56k... so thats nice of him.. anyways.... back to the post

when I booted up his win2k pro computer he had different sound for his computer when it's booting up....

and I have windows xp home edition, so how can I get a different sound for my computer when it boots up? is there a web site where u can download different sounds cause i think the sound file has to be in .wav form if i remember correct? and then if i do find a short .wav file i like where do i put it on my computer so it will play on startup..

lol also i would like to get different sound for shutdown too.. thanks for any help..!

lol weird post but thanks for any help...

:mellow Just go into control panel, sounds and play around. You can have a thunderstorm when you start up, and a couger, or my favorite, a bunch of monkeys when you shut down. So far I havnt seen a lot of ways to hurt your sys doing this,so enjoy and have fun. PS the monkeys remind me of Bill. LOL

go to control panel an play with the sounds an multimedia theme. hmmm they should have some default ones.....if not i'd trya google search for such sound themes.. there are sites taht offer free downloads of that sort of thing :)

actualy there are are programs, that are freeware, that allows for automation, of changing of sound files on startup and shut down.
i will see what icome up with
and post more information
for me i dont like to have sound, when i turn off my computer, btw, inever turn my computer off. but when i used to the sound would corrupt my shut down.
and it would cause erros for me
however, i am sure, what u are looking for is themes, and sound, that can be changed systematically, or everday.
this means, that the sound u want, u want it to change on start up, shut down.
there are programs out there, but to be honest, i have to look into it.
i remember some.
ne ways rtws
