Guide | How To Use pc as an alarm

[Shadow King]

Now this is specially for the ones who are too lazy to get up even when the trust cellphone dies screeching its lungs out. Its pretty simple Creating the playlist create a playlist of your favorite songs in Winamp, WMP or any other player. Export the playlist as a M3U playlist. M3U is generally accepted by almost every player. Triggering the alarm point to start> programs >accessories > system tools >scheduled tasks Create a new task and choose program as windows media player or winamp (May work with others too but I haven't tried anything else) Choose "daily", Enter the time and choose "every day" at next screen. It would now ask for password (leave blank in case you don't have one) Right click on the newly created task and check the "run only if logged in" check box. In the properties. Append the path to the playlist you created in the "run" text box. It should now look like Code:
Code:
"D:\windows mediaplayer\wmplayer.exe"K:\Playlists\smoothies.m3uthe text inside quotes is my WMP's path. It may vary for you. The text after WMP's path is the one to the playlist. Click OK and you're done.

This will require the pc to be turned on. If you leave it on when sleeping or doing something else and is plug into power socket, you are wasting energy and is not good for environment.

I prefer using an alarm clock.

I have accidentally did this before when Avast updates it scared the hell out of me, I woke up to a rude awakening. I had to disable sounds on Avast since I don't always remember to turn down my volume. I listen to music on Winamp pretty loud when I'm awake but when I'm asleep I like it very quite.

Thanks.

really wonderful, amazing trial you made, I hope that this may lead to generate a new option or app from various developers (Ms OR Linux or any other OS or app developers). hope that the person who generates this type of thing may get some thing good and new and that may lead to many good things. I am amazed at this post because, I was also thinking same about:..." how it would be if i use my PC to remind me at specified time'. I just tried to look at windows calender gadget option in windows 7, thinking that they might have put some thing like this, still searching for that. I want to suggest you don't worry about power problems but thing is a new idea, who knows this may lead to many good things. I hope that if we start to view or use anything in a positive humanistic way, definitely that will lead to our positive human evolution on earth. excuse me if i hurt any body and that is not my intention.
let all of us live happily. I appreciate shadow king. keep posting
