Are you bored with the same old Windows XP start up sound? Well you can replace with your very own waveform sound. When the Windows Starts up it plays a file called Windows XP Startup.wav. The file is located in the folder c:\WINDOWS\Media. The nameof the file is Windows XP Startup.wav. Move the file to any other folder. Rename the wav file which you want to set as your start up music as Windows XP Startup.wav  and paste it in the folder c:\WINDOWS\Media and voila your music will be played every time you  open your computer.

Changing the boot device-The entry point of the hacker

A hacker can boot any computer even if it has a system password by using a bootable floppy disk. But what if the first boot device of the computer is set as the hard disk? It is a sticky situation as the bootable floppy will come of no use. We have to then change the boot device. To change the boot device, first switch on the computer and keep on pressing the DEL key. This will take you to the BIOS set up screen. (BIOS is the acronym for Basic Input Output System). Select the Advance BIOS Features option and press Return option. Select the first boot device option and press Enter. Set the first boot device as floppy disk. Press ESC twice. In the Save to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) option, press "y" and press Enter. Now the computer should boot from the bootable floppy.

Warning:- If there is a CMOS password given, you will be prompted to enterthe passowrd before you can change any BIOS setting.
