Every windows system I've worked with has a start.wav and also a startup.wav (also stop.wav and shutdown.wav). These were always used for different purposes. I don't know about WM, since this is my first experience with it. Anyway, these are the files and I was able to replace them this morning with blank wav files no problem. PS/FYI: I still have to use my old XP desktop to overwrite read only files on my phone. I can't do it from Vista. Actually, it’s understandable.

I was hoping to break the call to in the DLL to play the animation and the sound, but instead it broke everything. As for killing just the sound - there's no audio file on the device for this sound. At least not one that I was able to locate. I think it must be stored in the DLL along with the animation. I'm disappointed that AT&T / Samsung added this restriction.

I saw another blog where the person tried to edit the DLL and include their own image files for the animation, but I don't think that worked either. I wonder if the display driver is loaded via the DLL, and that's why deleting it impacts loading the driver. Maybe someone (more knowledgeable than me obviously) will come up with a hack/tweak for this someday (sigh). What about at least silencing that annoying sound? I'm wondering if at the very least the .wav files can be edited to simply be silent/blank sound files? I think I might try that to see if it works... Hi Mike,
