Turn off the Windows Startup sound

I don’t think rebooting your computer warrants a lot of fanfare. To turn off that startup sound, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the Volume icon in the notification area, and then click Sounds.

2. The Sound dialog appears, with the Sounds tab selected. Clear the Play Windows Startup sound check box.

3. Click OK.

The next time you restart, you’ll be greeted with silence.

For more information, read the Windows Vista Resource Kit (co-authored by your very own Tony Northrup). Got a question for Tony? Send an e-mail to qa@vistaclues.com.
