Question - How to change the Windows start up sound to play random wavs?

[cc2k]

Hi guys, how you all doing?

So I currently have the Crysis Nanosuit voice all over my computer to talk to me when I do thing such as plug in a USB stick ("New hardware detected") and turn off the computer ("Critical Shutdown immenent"), but want to change it. I know how to change audio files but i am wondering if there is anyway to make windows pick from a list/folder of wavs randomly and play the, The reason I am asking is that I plan to get wavs of Defective Turret from Portal 2 and make it randomly play greetings as he has a lot of different ways to say the same thing.

Or is this simply not possible? Thanks guys!

Hmm, never dealt/created scripts before. I take it I use Notepad++ then save it as a .js file?

it's just a plain text file. if you have notepad++ already then you can use it but for this, windows notepad is just as good.

edit: it's important you check these registry keys actually exist before trying it. i doubt you're running XP like me?? start>search>regedit. you can browse the path in the last line of code i posted (HKCU stands for HKEY_CURRENT USER)

Yea, running windows 7. But thanks, I will give this a whirl. Should be interesting, never done anything like this before!

Just checked and there is no system start reg key for Windows 7. There are ones such as systemexit, Logon/Logoff amongst others, but no systemstart, meaning it must be unchangable?
