XP Sound at Startup

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.gateway2000 (More info?)

On my 700XL (Win XP Pro), the XP startup sound now plays earlier
in the bootup process (during the light blue screen just before the desktop
appears). It used to play as the desktop came into view. Is there a simple
way to move the sound to a little later in the bootup sequence?

Thanks!
Scott

Perhaps you could edit the Start Windows sound file (usually called
C:\Windows\Media\Windows XP Startup.wav) and add a few seconds of silence at
the beginning?
