how do import a sound from the internet and use it as my windows shutdown tone?

Answer 1

When you download a song from the internet, you need to save it to a place you'll remember, like your My Documents/Desktop, or just someplace easy you can keep the file.

Then go to start and go to Control Panel. From there, go to "Sounds Speech and Audio Devices" and then go to "Sounds and Audio Devices". From there, go to "Sounds" and you'll be given the chance to "To Change sounds, clikc on program event in the following list and then sselect a sound to apply. You can save the changes as a new sound scheme"

The Program event you are looking for is: Windows Logoff.
Click Browse, and find the song/sound you wanted.

The only thing I'm not sure about is that Windows ususally uses wave instead of mp3 or other formats, so I'm not sure how that would work. Also, not sure if a long song or anything longer than a couple seconds (the usual sounds that most Windows things are) would work.

Good luck!

This is simple, if you know how! First you need to download the sound you want in the .wav format and put it in a folder where you know it will be. The Windows sounds are stored in My Computer, (C), windows, media. Once you have this file go to the control panel and click on 'sounds and audio devices', and click to change the sound scheme. On the popup box click the second tab at the top.

At the bottom of the box there will be a list, search for Exit Windows, then browse. look for your sound and double click. this will now be your shutdown sound. simply click Ok to all the boxes and your away.

Here's the instructions direct from your own help files..

To assign sounds to program events
Open Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel.
On the Sounds tab, in the Program events list, click the program event to which you want to assign a sound.
In the Sounds box, click the sound you want to play whenever the selected program event occurs.
If the sound you want to use is not listed, click Browse to search for it.
Notes

To open Sounds and Audio Devices, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Sounds and Audio Devices.
To test a sound, in the Sounds box, click the sound you want to test, and then click Play sound . To stop the sound, click Stop .

Answer 4

Open control panel, and then open 'Sounds and Audio'. Click the 'Sounds' tab, and in the lower panel, scroll down to 'Windows Logoff'. Highlight that, and then click 'browse' and point it at the sound file you have downloaded. Hey presto.

Answer 5

download the sound, and change it into (.wav) first. u can use any converter to convert it file type to .wav. then control panel > sound, and audio device > sounds > pick exit windows> browse and pick the sound that u have converted to .wav. { that sound cant be any longer than maybe 15 sec, i think }

hope this helps.

Answer 6

You can change the default sounds but you have to use the new sounds as wav format. Winows will not recognize other formats such as mp3, for that purpose.
