Couple of questions (I'll keep it simple!)

1. Is it possible to change the windows start-up/shut-down music?

2. Is it possible to change my desktop icons into other pictures?

1) Not sure, why would you want to? :?

2) Yes, quite easily, you can find icon sets etc easily online... try somewhere like www.themexp.org

Should imagine you should be able to do this (you can in Win 98 - so there is no reason why XP can't do it) as it'll simply be a .wav file.


See if X-Setup Pro (http://www.x-setup.net/) helps (it's free)!


Actually, they've gone and made it shareware:(!

1:. goto control panel------>sounds and audio.
and click the sounds tab.

2:. open up an explorer window (eg. my computer) click on tools----> folder options. and click on the file types tab.
click the icon u want to change press advanced then change icon.



hope this helps mate

When I first bought this pc, I changed my start-up music to something I preferred, I think I use "Microsoft Sound".

As for icons, right click on the icon, click on properties, and then change icon. There's a whole range of icons that you can choose from, but why would you want to change them anyway?

:cool:

yes you can, start, control panel, audio devices, change the sound scheme, then you can choose what from where anything you have downloaded etc:
i may be 35, but on my start up it plays the music from the loonet tunes cartoons, and on shut down it plays the "thats all folks" theme.......
:hihi: :hihi: i know im sad............

as for desktop icons ive loads from microsoft plus!
or down load them/ cursor xp etc???
yep its a im bored thing............

Thanks for your help.

I've managed to find a MP3 to Wav converter, taken clips from my favorite tunes and used them to start up and close down windows.

Cheers:clap:
