Have you ever felt bugged-up with the Start-up and Shutdown jingle of
your Windows XP or Vista ? If yes, here is the solution, now you use
any of your favorite voice or music or dialogue as your PC’s
shutdown and start up.

It’s a simple 4 step process.

Step 1.

Choose the track which you want to play at start-up and shutdown jingles,

Limitations are

* It should be in .WAV format.
* The size of file should not be large, prefer keeping them within in 1 Mb, otherwise your startup will take a bit longer.

If
the file you want to make your start-up or shutdown is not in .WAV
format, you can easily convert them using Jet Audio 7, or any other
converter.

Step 2.

Now rename these files as “Windows XP Startup.WAV” and “Windows XP Shutdown.WAV” respectively.

Step 3.

Now
Go to “C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA”, here you will find files
“Windows XP Startup.WAV” and “Windows XP
Shutdown.WAV”, move them to some other locations, this step is
required for, in case you need to revert back these sounds, else you
can ignore this step.

Step 4.

Now the files you have
chosen and renamed, just copy-paste or cut paste them in
“C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA”, here you go, now you can enjoy the new
Start-up and shutdown.
