alarm clock

[mojoJojo]

Is there anyway I can set up my computer to wake me up so
that I wont be late to work in th morning. I was trying to
setup a Task to open up MediaPlayer and play a song but I
had to click on the song once open. If there is a way to
have the computer off so that I wont hear it on all night
and turn on at the scheduled task time please let me know
how. thank you

Media Player is not part of Office - never has been, never will be. Please
repost in a group pertaining to your operating system.

What you are looking for is called an alarm clock.

But that relies on the PC being left-on 24-7; which in a year would cost
about 20 times that of a battery alarm clock!

I know which one I'd choose.

Actually, you can set your computer to go into sleep (low power) mode while
you're not using it, then bring it out of sleep to play music.
www.bayden.com/mc/ is one wrapper for Windows Media Player which does that.

But this thread is really off-topic, so we should probably stop chatting
about this in the Office newsgroup.
