That is brilliant and really helpful, thanks so much. I Will give it a try and report back to the list if anyone else is interested, I think I may have missed the system exit sound option change in the registry I did change a couple of the other settings.

I will post a link with steps, however, I caution folks to be careful, and to backup registry before doing any change. How To Customize Windows 8 Shutdown, Logon and Logoff Sounds Windows 7 and previous versions let you easily customize the sounds played when you Logon, Logoff or Shutdown your computer. You can still do it in Windows 8, but these and other sound alerts are hidden by default. But with a simple Registry tweak, you can get them back, and customize them to your liking. Here you can see that Windows Logon, Logoff and Shutdown Program Events aren’t listed in Sounds. After the Registry hack, you’ll see a lot more options listed. Registry Hack for Sound Events Note: Before doing any Registry tweaking, make sure you Back it Up First! First use the Keyboard shortcut Windows Key+R to bring up the Run line and type: regedit and hit Enter. Registry Editor opens up and you need to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels under EventLabels you’ll see a list of subfolders for different sound events for Windows 8. Registry Editor Scroll down the list and click WindowsLogOff. In the right pane, you’ll see the key ExludeFromCPL. Double click on it and change the value to 0 and click OK. so if you're a jaws user, you need to first find the WindowsLogOff now tab one time you're in a list of 3 items, arrow down you will see/hear, ExludeFromCPL press enter, notice the value is set to 1, backspace, and type 0 now tab okay press enter. WindowsLogon ExludeFromCPL Repeat the exact same steps for the SystemExit and WindowsLogoff subfolders. In the end, SystemExit, WindowsLogoff and Windows Logon subfolder ExludeFromCPL key values will each be set to 0. When you’re done, close out of Registry Editor. SystemExit Customize Logoff, Logon and Shutdown Sounds Now from the Desktop, right click the Sound icon on the Taskbar and select Sounds. Or hit Windows Key + W to bring up Setting Search and type: sounds. Settings Search Then select Change System Sounds under the search results. Change System Sounds Now you’ll see the entries in the Program Events list, and can customize them like you would in previous versions of Windows. Sounds You can use this Registry tweak for other sounds that aren’t listed in Program Events too. If you like to customize every aspect of Windows 8, now you can – have fun! http://www.groovypost.com/howto/customize-windows-8-shutdown-logon-logoff-sounds/ -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Miller Sent: Sunday, January 10, 2016 8:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 10 Startup Sounds George, I'm sure that the sarcasm didn't help answer his question. What does it matter why he wants the sounds, he's asking for how to get them, not how you have yours set up. Sorry David if this is inappropriate but can't they just answer the questions people ask and not criticize someone's preferences? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of TheHangMan Sent: Sunday, January 10, 2016 8:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 10 Startup Sounds Hi, Window + X, is another content menu command.

When you do a shut down and then a start up, your computer comes on by way of the quick start feature in w-10. There are no windows sounds because you are not starting your system from a cold start. You are starting your system from a w-10 image file that was saved when you shut down your computer. This allows your computer to start up in about 10 seconds. This is one of the advantages of w-10, it's quick start up time. Yes, if you disable the quick start, you will get the traditional windows start up sounds. Because at that point you will be doing a cold start up, then your wait time will be any where from 30 to 60 seconds, depending on your computer. The new w-10 quick start is a combination of the Hibernation mode and sleep modes combined. I have used this quick start for about five months now, no negative impact on Jaws at all. Your computer is shut down, no heat or activity at all from your tower. Simply press the power button to quick start your w-10 computer. Your computer resumes in about 10 seconds, you are on the password or pin log-in screen. So, just to repeat, using the quick start in w-10 does not negatively impact Jaws. You are just quickly starting up your w-10 computer. By turning off the quick start feature in w-10. You will have a much longer start up time, and yes, the windows start up sounds will be heard. So, finally, this is a personal preference, no right or wrong way to have the quick start on or off in w-10. Personally, I have always used the w-10 quick start, this is a great time saver when you wish to quickly get on your computer. Again, this quick start feature does not impact Jaws in the least. The only thing you get by turning quick start off is a longer start up time, and the windows sounds. So, I hope this helps you to understand the w-10 quick start feature a little better. Love God! with your heart, mind, and soul, that you might be blessed reaching His goal. Love your Neighbor as you would yourself, God will truly reward you with good health. Love God, your neighbor, as you love yourself, you will then be spiritually balanced with wealth. Love His Word that proceeds from His lips, then reflect on the heavens where God sits.

Other than this, you will get the startup sound when restarting but not from a cold boot.
