How to Set Up the World's Longest Startup Sound

Next time they start up their computer, rather than a simple startup melody, they'll get a four-minute epic musical piece. Designed to sound like the Windows startup sound -- but much, much longer. Warning: may drive them insane after one use.


INSTRUCTIONS (Windows users only -- sorry, Apple owners!):

• Download the free sound file (right click this link and click "Save As").


• In Windows, click the Start menu, then click "Control Panel."


• Double-click "Sounds." It will look something like this.



• You should get a window that looks like this. Click the "Sounds" tab.



• Scroll down the list until you find one that says "Start Windows." Select it.


• In the "Sounds" box below, type or browse to the file you downloaded above.



• Click OK, and shut down their computer. You'll know they've restarted their computer when you hear the screaming.
