Most nights I go to bed with a song in my head - 'Not Getting Married' from Stephen Sondheim's Company, in case you're interested. It's not a song I'm particularly familiar with. I only know a handful of the words, and I don't even like it very much. And yet, almost every night, it plays over and over in my mind.
Last night I finally realised why. The last thing I do before I switch off the light is check my emails and Facebook just to make sure the internet has nothing fascinating to share with me before I turn in. Then I turn off my laptop. I can't believe it took me until last night to realise that the two little bing-bong notes it plays as it turns off are the first two notes of that song. And now a question for the tech-heads - Can I stop it playing a sound when it goes to sleep? Or even switch those notes for better ones? Sondheim is not restful.

Yes. Go to Start/Control Panel/Sound/Sounds and there you'll find a list of the sounds that accompany your processes. It's probably the Windows Logoff sound you want to disable. Or change.
