W7 Start Up Sound - where is it?

[Whirlingdervish]

Hi all...

I can't seem to find the folder in which the "Windows Start Up" Sound can be found (the sounds that play upon start up). In the "Windows/media" folder, all other sounds can be found, but seemingly not the start up sound. There is a file there called "Windows Start Up", but it's not the sound you hear upon start up.

I get the impression that, perhaps, MS doesn't want you to change their start up sound?

Anyone know the location of the default .wav file?

The file is in C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll

You can use Resource Hacker to access the file if necessary, but be sure to have backups in case something goes wrong.

on the toolbar at the left click on the little speaker it will show a list click sound and you will see all the sound asociated to windows .

There is no file in the media folder, on my copy of Windows 7, that's called 'windows session opening'.
