Sound on Startup

[Andrew E]

Go to sounds in control-panel,system sounds,L.click an
action or event,browse,xp will disclose all sounds,
however xp plus! nature-sounds,would be top choice to
look(an xp add-on).

XP doesn't add a "clap of thunder type sound".

I don't recall a clap of thunder type sound when I was using NT 4 either
so it might have been something that was installed by the OP.

Andrew E might well have not responded because he added nothing but
simply said "Go to sounds in control-panel,system sounds" where the
sound doesn't exist.

BTW. Where can we get XP Plus Nature-Sounds?
