The Quinternet Alarm Clock

Here's a trick for those of us who hate waking up to "WHAN WHAN WHAN WHAN" or the latest awful song on your local radio station. How bout have your computer wake you up with any song you choose from your music collection. Click on the "Start" button then choose Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks. A new window will open up, under the "File" menu select New>Scheduled Task, a new icon will appear. Double click this icon (for now it is labeled New Task, but you can rename it if you wish) and under the "Run" text box click "Browse". A browsing box will open, under the drop down menu "Files of Type" select "All Files". Now simply navigate to where the song you want to wake up to is stored on your computer. Once you choose a file, click "OK" and then click the "Schedule" tab. Here you can set the song to play one time only or set it to play daily, weekly, monthly etc. Choose the time you wish the alarm to go off and click "Apply" and then "OK". You may be prompted for your password, this is simply the password you use to log onto your computer. Be sure your volume is at the desired level for waking up and remember to leave your speakers on. You can set multiple alarms for certain days playing different songs etc. don't be afraid to experiment with different settings. Good Night!
