Disable windows Startup and Exit Music?

[cumminbk]

Does anyone know of a registry tweak to change the windows startup and shutdown music that is played to "none"?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


; removed start and exit sounds
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Current]
@=hex(2):00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Default]
@=hex(2):00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Current]
@=hex(2):00,00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Default]
@=hex(2):00,00

i realize this isnt' a reg tweak but it still pertains to the topic so chill...lol

i deleted my windows/media folder completely during install... to get rid of ALL the annyoing sounds. just an idea.

Quick question here, as this may help me out with a lot more than just this issue.. pertaining to this issue however, I had tried, with no success, doing this:

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Current]

It obviously didn't work, so then I tried to remove the values from the keys, and finally removing the lines directly from hivedef.inf. Didn't work either. I was starting to think I'd need a priest to get rid of these sounds. I'm just wondering what the @=hex(2):00,00 does, that outright deleting of the values doesn't do.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Hmmm that is the only reg file I can find.

Get regsnap take a snap of your reg and then disable the sounds and take another reg snap and it will tell you what reg entries where changed. Thus you will get your needed file.

@ tester.br Screw you noob.

Hey i acctually imported this line, Instead of what you have posted kelsenellenelvian.

;Disables the Music Played During Windows Startup and Shutdown

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Current]

@=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Current]

@=""

However i am unable to import this key sucessfully during an unatteded install. At first boot i import these keys and it imports perfectly and sounds are disabled.

@kelsenellenelvian

Do you have any reason to use

@=hex(2):00,00

rather than

@=""

@deweydesigns Yea your method might work but i only want Startup Music and Shutdown music disabled. Thanks for your tip though.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

No reason to use it I just got the reg tweak off of the site so was not aware it did not work.

Well acctually i tested yours also and it produced the same results as the tweak i used. I just went with my becuase it seemed simpler.

Hi, Just a thought.

As an alternative way to the same ends, you could build no start-up/shutdown sounds into a custom theme. This way you can modify all your sounds if you wish
