If you have Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 and a functional sound card
installed, you can create a new task in System Agent to play a sound at a
specified time. This might be useful if you want to play a chime at noon
or hear a reminder to take a break at a certain time every day.
To create a new task in System Agent to play a sound at a specified time,
follow these steps:
| 1. | Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point
to System Tools, and then click System Agent.
|
| 2. | On the Program menu, click Schedule A New Program.
|
| 3. | Type the following text in the Program box:
c:\windows\sndrec32.exe /play /close <path to sound file>
For example, to play the "The Microsoft Sound.wav" file, you would
type:
c:\windows\sndrec32.exe /play /close c:\windows\media\
the microsoft sound.wav
|
| 4. | Click When To Run. Choose how often to play the sound file in the Run
box, and then choose a time to play the sound file in the Start At box.
|
| 5. | Click OK, and then close System Agent.
