Armin, Back again and thanks for your good wishes. 

I hope you feel better now. :-)

During my sickness I did a lot of thinking about what I'm trying to
achieve and believe there may be a MUCH better approach if you
remain interested. In order to get the timing right, it makes sense
to use the Windows control panel to set the start sound.
Therefore what I'd like to design is a routine which can be set in
the start up folder and which will:-

1. Delete FilenameX in Filepath\FolderB
2. If the day is Monday, copy File1 from Filepath\FolderA to
Filepath\FolderB with the new name FilenameX, or
3. If the day is Tuesday, copy File2 from Filepath\FolderA to
Filepath\FolderB with the new name FilenameX, or..........
4. ........etc for each day of the week.

In that way the file will be changed daily, ready for the next day's
startup, and it does not matter at what stage in the boot sequence
it is executed. I expect it will execute after that day's sound has
been invoked, but it would not really matter if it executed earlier.

Does that make sense ?

Not to me. Sorry. :-) You are saying "next day's startup" - what if it's started 3 days later? Wrong sound. I think the way you did it before is much more straightforward: Play the sound for the day when it's started.


TIA =:>)~ (~ is because I have a beard!)

From today I don't have one anymore. :) (but I do have a nose ;o)
