If you look in C:\WINDOWS\Media you will find a bunch of wav files.  These files are played on start up and on events in Windows XP.  You can choose your own set of sounds, by downloading a set from various Internet sites.

But if your like me, want to increase the speed and efficiency of your operating system, you can compress them.  They are originally HUGE.  like 500kb for the login sound that plays when u boot up windows XP.  Ive compressed them and made them available for download here. 

CLICK TO DOWNLOAD ZIP

Now the login sound is only 90k!  It will improves the amount of memory you have for your programs. 

Just unzip and copy into your C:\WINDOWS\Media directory and your set!  Make a backup of the directory in case you don’t like the compressed versions or you mess up
