Rastaman85 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Anyone been able to do this yet?I think MS is going a little too far with this. There should definitely be an option to disable this sound. Maybe it can be removed using regedit or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it can be removed using regedit or something?Haven't tried it, but can't it be removed in the same way as on WinXP, through sound controls in Control Panel?

Biohead Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Right click on the sound icon in the taskbar.Choose "Sounds"Go down to either Windows Startup (The old WinXP Sound) and Windows Logon (The new Vista sound) and depending on which one you don't like, change it to "none".

Rastaman85 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 No, I am not talking about about the .wav file assigned to "start windows" in control panel. I am talking about the (hard-coded??) sound (actually the sound played is windows xp startup.wav) that plays before you log in to windows. This is the first windows that has ever had this.

Biohead Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I see what you mean now! Maybe they'll let you do it once the sounds are finalised??You're right though - if it is hardcoded, shame on you Microsoft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xper Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There will be version for EU: Windows Vista NS (No Media Player and No Startup Sound).Just kidding. Startup sound is hardcoded for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epic Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I've never took the time to even consider disabling it. However, much like the previous version's you still the ability to disable it, hardcoded, maybe. Have you attempted to check the loader for a wav (or similar dat file) string ?
