Unless you find some third party GUI tool for it I doubt it. Do you have a fear of regedit for some reason? As long as you back up your registry and are careful you should be fine.

there is a wav file that is your start up and yes i fear reg edit but if you search logon and find the windows logon sound .wav and replace it with anything it changes it

The Windows Startup sound was basically disabled since Windows 8. I did some research when I was using 8 and as far as I know, there is no way of doing this other than having a third party tool to basically run script to play a sound file upon startup. It was a dumb workaround and never played as timely as it did in Windows 7 and lower so I gave up.
