    Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1

    I want to change the startup.wav sound to a different sound.

    I did manage to take ownership of the wav file in windows\media alright
    but during bootup, it still plays the standard startup wav.

    Can this be done and if so, what else do i need to do?

    thanks,

    I was fine with that procedure until the last step, the recovery part.

    If a repair/recovery is ever required, i would lose the sound anyway.

    thanks butits not worth it....
