I couldn't discern from the information provided by Toshiba whether or not I should use the battery when I'm using it at my desk, so I opted to plug the laptop in when I use it at my desk because I couldn't see the point of continually discharging and recharging the battery.
It's a 1-year-old Toshiba which gets used only at my desk. I also have only a laptop, which I carry back and forth. I am a "snowbird," wintering in Florida and going north for the summer. You answered a question from Crystal Di'Anno about the life of her laptop. Now when you leave the computer volume cranked up at night and restart the next morning you will be greeted with a nice little diminutive ding in place of Bill Gates' chimes from hell. Now rename it Windows XP Startup.wav and shut the folder. Next hit Control + V to paste the copied xding.wav file into the Media directory. Now right-click on the xding.wav file and rename it back to ding.wav. Rename ding.wav with an x in front of it, use the cursor to select it and then press Control + C to copy it. Now go to the ding.wav file that is in the same folder, the same one that you tried unsuccessfully to substitute for the start-up sound earlier. Then use the cursor to move to the first letter and put an x in front of the name. You can't just scrap the file because that will create an error message, so the fix is to rename it and then substitute a quiet file in its place.įirst right-click on the Windows XP Startup.wav icon and pick Rename from the pop-up menu that appears. To find the offender, right-click on Start, scroll to the Windows folder, open it and then click on the Media folder. The rafter shaker is called Windows XP Startup.wav, and it lives in the Windows directory Media folder.
The file you are messing with is called startup.wav and it is just a small clicking sound. Go figure why Microsoft laid this little trap in XP but, as your note illustrates, the sound file listed for Windows under Start in the latest operating system isn't that startling deep gong-type sound that so gets your goat, Mr.
