that's how it is with all versions actually. i had Vista Business btw. you could change the rest of the system sounds like in XP, except for the startup one. sounds like a pointless implementation on Microsoft's part.

or a branding operation. can you change the chord on a Mac? no, of course. the same goes for Vista, but you call it a "pointless implementation"

only thing you can do is disable it, as far as I know, by changing a value somewhere in the registry. -> google

ah, i see you what you're saying. meh, guess i didn't think of it like that :| anyhoo, i think it would have to be a registry hack as well. i would actually like to know how to change it, just out of curiosity.
