IN old Windows XP change startup sound operating system it could have been quite simple. All system sounds, including the startup melody, in WAV sound format were stored in the directory under the path C:\Windows\Media. It was necessary to open this path in Explorer and replace the source file “Windows XP - startup” with a WAV file with its own sound, but renamed as the source. Starting with Windows 7, the standard system startup ringtone is no longer a separate WAV file, but is included in the imageres.dll DLL file located in the System32 folder. And, according to the official position of Microsoft, you cannot change the system startup sound to your liking. We must either listen to what is there, or not listen to anything at all, as, in fact, is suggested by default in the latest Windows versions 8.1 and 10. In this article we’ll look at how to bypass Microsoft’s strict limits. And listen to your favorite ringtones when loading system versions 7, 8.1 and 10.

How to change Windows 7 login ringtone

In "Seven" it is not allowed to customize your system startup melody in the regular way, but this version at least provides the ability to set your own sounds for entering the system, logging out and shutting down. In versions 8.1 and 10 this is not the case. If work on “Seven” is carried out through a password-protected account, in principle, there is no difference between the sound of the system starting up and the sound of entering it. In the latter case, the greeting sound will play after entering the “account” password.

To change the login sound, in the task area, call up the context menu on the volume icon and select “Sounds”.

In the properties window that opens:

Click the program event “Login to Windows”;

Using the browse button, select your WAV audio file;

Uncheck the option to play the startup melody;

Click “Apply”.

That's all.

However, if on “Seven” the work is carried out from an account that is not password-protected, we will hear the sound configured in this way only when we deliberately log out of the system and log in again.

When you boot your computer normally, the login sound will not play. Without a password, the system will simply start silently. For cases of working on a computer from non-password-protected “accounts”, it is necessary to configure only the melody Windows startup.

And you can replace it from the standard one with something from your collection of ringtones in any version of the operating system using third-party software.

How to change the startup ringtone in Windows 7, 8.1, 10

In order for the system start to be accompanied by a sound greeting, you must first configure it, because, let me remind you, it is disabled by default in versions 8.1 and 10. To turn on the greeting, go to the system sound settings.

Activate the melody activity checkbox.

Thus, we activated the standard Windows startup sound. Now we need to replace it with our own ringtone. You can do this in two ways:

Difficult - with granting access with TrustInstaller rights to the System32 system folder and with the participation of a program for repacking file resources. The latter will replace the original WAV sound contained in imageres.dll with a third-party one and repackage the library file. But we will need to do this every time we get tired of the ringtone and want to change it to another one;

Simple - using the StartupSoundChanger tweaker program.

It’s a simple method and I suggest you consider it in detail.

You can download the StartupSoundChanger program from my “cloud” using this link:

I also packed a WAV file of the famous melody “Hello” into the archive with the program. This is one of the most popular alternatives to the standard audio greeting. Those who have not yet decided on the ringtone they want to set can temporarily diversify the system load with this spectacular sound.

StartupSoundChanger is a portable free program with a very narrow range of actions. She can:

Change the default melody Windows downloads to any other WAV sound;

Return the original one, i.e. the standard melody for loading the operating system into place.

Let's launch the program. When you press "Play" it will play the current Windows startup ringtone. And when you click “Replace”

will open a browse window to point to any WAV file.

After selecting the latter, the program will play it, and from now on it will be played when starting “Seven”, “Eight” or “Ten”. And if suddenly, you never know, you want to return the standard system boot sound, open StartupSoundChanger again and click “Restore”.
