Play a Song at every Computer Startup


Do you get bored with same old routine work? Getting up in the morning, switching your computer on, and so on? Wouldn’t you love the idea of your computer greeting you with your favorite tune every time you login? Windows Task Scheduler sets up for the task.

Task Scheduler lets you create and manage the tasks you would like your system to perform automatically at the time you specify. We have already seen how we can Activate & Automate Enhanced Disk Cleanup Tool operation and schedule a Batch File to run automatically in Windows 8 or Windows 7. Today we will see how to make your Windows PC sing to you at every startup.

Listen to your favorite song at every Computer Startup

To begin, you will have to first create a Basic Task using Task Scheduler. Bring up the Control Panel first. Type ‘Administrative Tools’ in its search option. Click on the link and from the list of tools displayed select ‘Task Scheduler’.
