Discover Hidden Music in Windows XP

[manas]

Did you know, there is a hidden music in Windows XP that you have never heard..

To hear this sound, first of all go to Folder Options and under the "View" tab, check "Show hidden files and folder" and uncheck "Hide protected system files".

Now navigate to the drive where Windows XP is installed.So if C:\ is the drive where Windows XP is installed, goto

C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images

There you will find a file Title.wma.Open in with your favorite media player and listen to it.

But what is the need of unhiding hidden & system files, it is clearly visible & not a hidden file.

Looks like you are very short of space on your drives.

May be the reason why we are not hearing the sound, is that we do not have our sound card drivers installed when we start xp for the first time after installation.

Remmeber whenever you install windows XP, then in the last steps, it asks for you username and name for other accounts too. Its the same music.

thanks for sharing

[DR RANJAN]

plz give me list of file of windows which are safe to del ..such as C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images

[aryayush]

Hey, it's nice music. I have never heard it while installing XP, obviously because I can install the audio drivers only after the installation is complete. Thanks for the info!

DR RANJAN, you are not going to be able to save much be deleting the superfluous system files in Windows X, just let them be. If you delete some important file in the process...

[kirtan]

thanx for sharing dude.listening this music for the first time.

[ketanbodas]

[deepak.krishnan]

thanks for sharing

[Lucky_star]

It was a cool Music.


You can find some midi files in this folder also:
C:\WINDOWS\Media

Of them Town.mid, Flourish.mid, Onestop.mid are longer ones with somewhat nice music.

[Anurag A]

Nothing is new !

Try windows Tour and turn on the sound
that it

[~Phenom~]

nice peaceful music. where exactly does windows use it ???

[manas]

After installation, when Windows collects user names etc.. then this music is played.

[~Phenom~]

^^ really ?? I have never heard it , I have installed XP over 100 times till date.

[Vishal Gupta]

I think u didnt hear the sound bcoz ur Sound drivers were not installed by default!

[manas]

Yeah, not all sound card drivers are installed by windows xp.. That's why i never heard it..

[~Phenom~]

yeah that might be the reason coz my system sound drivers had to be installed manually.
