You can browse for different sounds for any event in Windows,
and select what you want, and then just apply to save your changes.
All this does is modify the current sound scheme, same in previous versions
of Windows.
In Windows 7, the default Windows startup sound cannot be changed.
Do you think it will be possible to upgrade to win 10 without sighted
assistance using Jaws or even Narrator?
