The music that Windows 7 plays every time the logon screen displays and then
again when you log on is something that you can do without. Hearing the tunes
was really cool back when most people didn’t have sound cards in their comput-
ers. Nowadays everyone has a sound card and the cool new Windows 7 logon
sound is starting to get old. Less is more, and when your computer has to load
a 500KB media file to play, it slows things down. I recommend that you disable
the logon sound. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Click the Start button and then Control Panel.
2. Click Hardware & Sound followed by Change System Sounds listed under
Sound.
3. Locate the Program Events box, scroll through the list and select Windows
Logon. Remove the assigned sound by setting it to (None) with the Sounds
drop down list.
4. Below the Program Events list, remove the check next to Play Windows
Startup sound as shown in Figure 13-9.
5. Click OK and you are finished.
Now that was not too bad. Plus, you just shaved another second off your
loading time. If you want to save even more time in Windows, you can experi-
ment with turning off all sounds by changing the Sound Scheme on the Audio
Devices and Sound Themes screen to No Sounds from Windows Default.
