would love to know this too. I'd hate to have to restart my phone in a meeting and have it blurt out. Anybody?
I'll post back if I figure this out.

it needs to be done thru a registery hack

go to qusers.com and read the treads. i'm sure someone will come up with a hack.
it doesnt really bother me as i dont reboot very often.
it does suck though... very loud.

I used the file manager to find "piano.wav"
renamed it to pianoold.wav. Transferred a more appealing sound to the windows directory and renamed it piano.wav and rebooted.

Everything worked fine and I have a nicer startup sound now.

All without hacking the registry. 😉

Also try not to substitute a wav that is too long/different from the original piano.wav because you may have problems with that.
