ok, I got it! When your computer is re-booting, trun down your computer's volume. Then turn on your CD player. This should accomplish what you want. No need to thank me.

open the control panel and double click "sounds and audio devices"

click the 'sounds' tab at the top, highlight 'start windows' at the bottom and browse for a new sound to be played :)

I just change mine to ctrl+alt+delet to login. Get rid of the welcome screen all together.

I have virtual pc on my mac but i never use it because it takes like 20 minutes to start xp and then is slower than hell. Maybe when I get a faster mac the £200 I shelled out may actually begin to pay off...

You need to dumb down. Don't think about what you're doing just click. It will protect you from your own stupidity.
