Change or turn off sounds in windows xp

If you want to change the sound played by windows xp for a particular event such as startup, shutdown, critical error etc. you can do that easily by defining sound the file which you want to be played. But remember, the file should be in a .wav format. You can also stop windows from playing that sound every time the event occurs. 

Go to the Control Panel Start > Settings > Control Panel
 
Double click on Sounds icon
 
Scroll through the list of event sounds and select the program and the related event that you want to modify

 

Use controls at the bottom to disable (set sound name to "None") or select a different sound

Click "OK" and close the Control Panel before testing the event sound
