I hate the noise my home PC makes when it starts up - it reminds me too much
of work! Is it possible to get any new sounds from Microsoft that will make my computer sound a bit less 'standard'? I'd probably like to do the same thing to the wallpaper but I don't want some amateur looking stuff. Help! |

Hi
If you go to Sounds and Audio DevicesSounds tab, you use other files apart from the MS default ones by clicking on 'Browse'. -- Will Denny MS-MVP - Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "C Tate" wrote in message ...

Is it possible to get any new sounds from Microsoft that will make my computer sound a bit less 'standard'? Go to Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices, and on the Sounds tab, choose any available sound. While there, you can also customize other sounds besides the startup sound. By the way, Windows comes with a bunch of sounds you can choose for these events, but there are hundreds or thousands of other ..wav files available for downloading on the internet, and any of these can be used too. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

Thanks for the advice guys. The page Johny suggested sounds good but appears
to be no longer there. Where can I find these old schemes?
