Disable Startup/Exit music in XP

[cumminbk]

Alright i would like to disable the startup/exit music in windows using a registry key. I have been using this entry which is imported with a batch file at first boot but does not take effect. Why is this? Somehow i had this working before took it out and now i cant get it to work again... grrrr

If you want all Sounds except for the startup/exit, remove Beep driver with nLite and you're done. This will disable the possibility of Startup/Exit sounds.

Kelsenellenelvian method is more decent, simply edits the Sound Scheme, if you select a different sound scheme, it might have startup/exit sounds enabled.
