Hey everybody! What I need to know is this: is there a way to set Windows
to do a customized task for me so that I don't have to hear my alarm clock
every morning?

What I would like to do is basically create a "macro" thats used in
windows itself, much like a macro in MS Office. I would like to set the
computer to automatically mute the sound at midnight, then unmute it at
830 in the morning and open up a music program and play a song.

is there any way to do this or any program I should get to make it happen?

thanks!!

Google for alarm clock programs. I'm sure there are many freeware ones.

Malke, he's not looking for an alarm clock. He wants to mute and
unmute his sound at specified times.

If *.cmd files could be written to do this, they could easily be
scheduled with the Scheduled Tasks tool. But I don't know of anything
that would switch sound on and off from the command line.
