Yes you can but only with wav. files. here's a converter from MP3 to wav. Convert MP3 to WAV

Isn't it the "Windows Logon" that you see if you scroll down a little?

 

[sergiogarcia9]

copernicus: yes you click on it and select browse select the file you want to be played instead (ONLY WAV. FILES) and it should work smooth.

Thanks guys ... yes works with logon but i don't use logon just startup and thats the sound I'm trying to replace

 

[copernicus]

It's probably built into some dll according to this on vista:

Thanks copernicus (hugs) i will look in to this

Yes it's in the shell32.dll in system32, you will need to use a resource hacker to open it and then you can replace it with your own, you may need to take ownership of it and give yourself full permissions to be able to save it.

Hi Mr GRiM, i downloaded ResHack and will have a look at it in the morning, thank you for the info

 

[Cindy]

Er think i may just leave it

Try..

C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll

Hi DarkNovaGundam, I did try as your post but got >

Okay I figured it out, instead of typing it in, navigate through it.. (don't type in C:/Windows/System32/Shell32.dll, it won't find it.)

Steps

1. Make ResHacker see all files.
View attachment 16422
2. Open C: Drive
3. Open Windows Folder
4. Open System 32 Folder
5. Search for Shell32.dll

It should work that way.

Hope that helps , works for me in ResHacker 3.4.0

Thank you DarkNovaGundam, i will try as you say, my ver is 3.4.0.79

Hi Cindy,

Just to add, you need to run ResHacker as Administrator in order for it to save & open the files correctly. Or at least I have to
