Windows XP location: C:\WINDOWS\system 32\oobe\images. Always wondered what the real story was with that sound. You have to play that XP start-up sound through headphones. I don't think MS ever did that for another new OS. I tried to find it on the computer, eventually did a search where to find it and made copies. You can even l isten to the Windows XP installation music if you’d like - probably for the first time ever, since the default drivers seemingly never worked during setup.I always liked the beautiful music that plays when you start Windows XP for the very first time.

A recent rework of the tune that turned it into a JRPG soundtrack made a viral splash, and across YouTube and Soundcloud, remixes of the chimes are practically their own genre, although this one is a bit more listenable than most attempts. The musician previously paid homage to blue screen errors with his project Press L to Continue, but this one leans more heavily into the PC nostalgia.Īnd he’s far from the only one inspired by the music. That’s probably why “artist, producer and DJ” ROMderful felt the need to do this to its startup music, taking the six-second chime composed by Bill Brown and making it a full R&B song about a girl who should message him. THEY SAY THE EYES, ARE THE WINDOWS, INTO YA SOULĪND WHEN I LOOK IN YOURS, ALL I SEE IS SUNSHINE AND GOLD. HIT ME UP ON MSN, I WANNA BE MORE THAN FRIENDS GIRL SO MESSAGE ME. While so far it hasn’t been as celebrated as, say, Windows 95, the OS will never leave popular culture when it’s been everywhere for almost two decades.
