Try this tip if you are bored with the same welcome sound every day and want to use a
different sound every time you start Windows 98.
Create a new folder, for example C:\Windows\Sound.
Put your WAV files in this folder, change their names to sound01.wav, sound02.wav, sound03.wav, etc.
Open Control Panel, double-click on the Sounds icon,
select Start Windows option from the Events list, and then
click the Browse button. Choose a WAV file that you want to play,
for example C:\Windows\Media\Welcome.wav. Click OK.
Use Notepad to create a batch file with these following contents:
cd c:\windows\sound
ren sound01.wav soundxx.wav
ren sound02.wav sound01.wav
ren sound03.wav sound02.wav
ren sound04.wav sound03.wav
ren soundxx.wav sound04.wav
copy sound01.wav c:\windows\media\welcome.wav
If you have more than four files in the C:\Windows\Sound folder,
you can add as many more commands as you want, just follow the command pattern.
Save that batch file, for example as C:\Windows\Change.bat.
Add a command into the Autoexec.bat file to activate Change.bat file.
From now on, you will hear a different Windows 98 welcome sound every time you start your computer
