Just create a file with the same name as the file in the Media folder and replace it. If you don’t like some of the other default Windows sounds, you can change them in the same way. Step 3: Now copy the two renamed files to the C: Windows Media folder and restart your computer! You should now hear the new sound and not the default sounds. This is just in case the two WAV files you created don’t work and you want to revert to the original sound. Move the two original files from the Media folder to some other backup folder. Here you will find the Windows XP Startup.wav and Windows XP Shutdown.wav files, as well as many other Windows sounds. Step 2: Now navigate to the folder with the current Windows startup and shutdown sounds, i.e. Rename each WAV file to Windows XP Startup.wav and Windows XP Shutdown.wav respectively. Let’s start by copying the audio files to the sound directory. There are two ways to change startup sounds and other sounds in Windows XP: simply drag and drop them to the appropriate folder or using the Control Panel. If you have MP3, you can easily convert it to WAV format using a free online tool like Media.io Try to keep the file size as small as possible, less than 1 MB. Before we dive into the details, you will first want to find the appropriate WAV audio file. I’ll cover all operating systems below to make this as easy as possible depending on your OS. After that, you need to run a third-party program, and even after that, you must shutdown and restart your computer in a certain way to actually hear the sound. In Windows 8, things get worse if you miss your favorite startup sound because it is completely disabled, so you first need to enable it in the registry. On Windows 7, you need to use a third-party program to change the startup sound because if you try to use Control Panel it won’t do anything. However, if you want to have your own startup and shutdown sounds in Windows, it’s possible. I’ve never been a big fan of Windows startup or shutdown sounds, which is why I was so happy they were removed in Windows 8.
