how to set a desired song at windows startup?
-
What version of Windows?
Assuming it is XP:
Start --> Control Panel (classic view) --> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Sounds Tab.
From there, choose Start Windows under Program Events and change it from there.
Note: Windows Sounds are located in C:\Windows\Media

Does it have to be a .wav file?

In my experience, other files didn't work.....So I would assume so.
This topic inspired me to make a tutorial with Wink. Hopefully I can get it uploaded.
When it is, I'll post the link.

in my experience only the 1st 10 seconds of the song play

SaviourPC? or did you kind of give up when we switched to HTML?
Don't forget to post it in the planned contributions thread I made at Sav... oh wait, HA! You can't see that part of the forum! HA HA HA!
*Ahem* My apologies, that was rude of me.
And- for the record- the file needs to be a WAV file for a very simple reason- the startup sound is played by Windows using a function call PlaySound() - it only supports WAVE format.

Yeah, for SaviourPC. I originally made it as a Flash tutorial, and it doesn't feel right if I convert it. :(
-
yeah- we've I had to redo mine 5 or 6 times just ot get the size down, and then we nixed the flash thing. Not so bad really, since I just had to delete some frames...

Well, Carbon - bring it on!
-
No one has asked what song.....
It can also be longer than 10 seconds...that's the default.

how do you make it longer then 10 sec??????
-
Is it only 10 seconds? Not 30 seconds?
-
it only works for 10 sec for me but they said you can change it??

If you mean at SaviourPC- as it has been mentioned, we're nixing the flash idea and using the HTML.
Essentially it involves stripping out all frames that don't include text. and exporting as HTML.
Also- your tutorial isn't loading for me- it just says "oops, we can't find this page" ???
-
Cant you just copy the song into the startup folder? :-\

Nope. I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure it will load Windows Media Player AFTER the original Windows Startup Sound rings.

Hmmmm........Interesting....
