Hidden Windows music.

Microsoft Windows XP plays a very cool and soothing tune during installation. It is a pleasant little tune that you’ve probably never heard before ...the reasons could be:
1. You were not present when windows was installed on your machine( branded PC's)
2. 99% of the time... either the sound drivers are not yet installed or the speaker is disconnected

If you HAVE heard it before chances are you haven't heard it again...as this tune i talk of plays once and is never ever heard again.Its a 5 minute long tune.But this tune is there on your machine waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

To hear what you’ve been missing, just follow these:

Make you way to

C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images
and look for a file called "Title.wma" or possibly "Windows welcome music.wma".

All you need to do is find the name and hover your mouse on it and it'll display the format and size details so that you can identify it correctly.
Copy - paste it to wherever you want or just leave it where it is.
It is around 2.56Mb in size. Just double click the file and this will open Windows Media Player, or your default player and it will proceed to serenade you with a more than 5 minutes of music. It's up to you to repeat it.

Do post your comments on what you thought about it.
Have fun.
cheers!!!
