Setup Music

[Jaz]

We just bought a Dell laptop with windows XP. When you first turn it on, it
goes through the installation and configuration wizard. There is a some
music that plays in the background as you go through the setup. Does
anybody know if this is a file that is on the computer. Any ideas on how to
get this music file?

Thanks,
Jasper

1. Right-click on your Desktop and select NEW > SHORTCUT
2. In the resulting box type: C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images\title.wma
and click NEXT.
3. Type in a name for the shortcut (i.e. Windows Welcome Music) and click FINISH.
4. A shortcut to the music will magically appear on your Desktop.

If he is talking about that music then why it never played on my XP. Is this Dell
specific ?

No, it's not Dell-specific; it's common to every edition of WinXP I've
installed. I suppose, however, that some OEMs may have inhibited its
playing on the initial startup.
