Coming from the "Don't Be Alarmed" department, Lockergnomaster Steven Groginsky has uncovered another use for the Windows Task Scheduler. While looking for a downloadable alarm clock the other day, Steven realized he had one already installed with IE4/5. Launch the 'Add Scheduled Task' wizard in the 'Task Scheduler' folder > press the 'Browse' button > find your favorite WAV/MP3/MIDI file and select it > set it to perform the task daily > start it at the top of the hour every day > open up its advanced properties > on the 'Schedule tab' press the 'Advanced' button > put a checkmark next to 'Repeat task' and have it repeat every hour (or however often you want to be notified). There are other settings, too -- find what works best for you.
