   Help er... hacking (?) WinXP... in a non-malicious/evil way
  Hi,Right, currently I''m wanting to extract something from Windows XP... possibly the stupidest bit one could want to extract, but that''s me . Here goes...When you install XP, when you get to the bit with the floaty question mark that talks to you, there''s some ambient kind of music. This is what I''d like to extract... and I don''t have the slightest clue how to, so I''d appreciate some help.CheersStu 
  Have you tried a search on the windows install disk for wav/midi files? ;  Don''t forget to search inside the CAB files (which XP will happily do). ;  I''ve tried to find various sound clips used by the OS as well, with no luck.  For example, on startup, my Windows XP plays a startup sound.  Not   the startup sound that''s listed in the sound properties.  Actually, if I set the startup sound, it will play both   sounds.  So I figured I''d try to find it and delete it, since I hate any of their startup sounds.  No luck.  Maybe I didn''t look hard enough or wasn''t intelligent enough, I don''t know.  But if you have a second computer available, you could simply get the proper cord and hook the output of one computer to the input of the other, and use the second computer to simply record whatever comes in through the input.  But that''s dependent on having a second computer available, as well as the proper wire. ;quote:Original post by Promit  Don''t forget to search inside the CAB files (which XP will happily do).I should try to do that myself...  There''s my lack of intelligence for ya.
