Guest hamiltoncruiser Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I need some kind of alarm to remind me of a couple of things before I leave work and have to go catch the bus. Does XP come with something like that or can someone recommend some spyware-free freeware? ....Lisa

Guest hamiltoncruiser Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: pop up alarm clock for/included in windows XP? Thank you. I just thought someone would be able to recommend something based on their experience. ....Lisa On Aug 14, 4:51 pm, "Dave B." <m...@nomail.net> wrote: > A Google search (which is free and can be done by anyone, revealed many > options) > Here's Microsoft's offering. > > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/mcepowertoys.mspx > > -- > ---- > Crosspost, do not multiposthttp://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > How to ask a questionhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 > How to Posthttp://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"hamiltoncruiser" <gerry.l...@gmail.com> wrote in message > > news:1187124416.001362.255090@g12g2000prg.googlegroups.com... > > >I need some kind of alarm to remind me of a couple of things before I > > leave work and have to go catch the bus. > > > Does XP come with something like that or can someone recommend some > > spyware-free freeware? > > > ...Lisa

Do you use MS Outlook at work? You could use that to show popup reminders. Jon.
Guest RalfG Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: pop up alarm clock for/included in windows XP? "Alarm" v2.06 by Paul Scott or "ThroughClock" v.1.78 by Hamataro both work well. They are older apps and newer versions may not be available or supported anymore.

Guest hamiltoncruiser Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: pop up alarm clock for/included in windows XP? That looks promising...I'd prefer not to download something. Can Scheduled Tasks open a document at the set time? Or will it just run a program?? I set it up and my Notepad doc didn't open. I'll have to try again. ....Lisa On Aug 14, 5:01 pm, Bob I <bire...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Scheduled Tasks comes to mind, see Help and Support. > > hamiltoncruiser wrote: > > I need some kind of alarm to remind me of a couple of things before I > > leave work and have to go catch the bus. > > > Does XP come with something like that or can someone recommend some > > spyware-free freeware? > > > ...Lisa
Guest ANONYMOUS Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: pop up alarm clock for/included in windows XP? I would use my own watch! Just set an alarm at a particular time and done!!! Using a company computer for these things is not wise especially when you have to install 3rd party software!! what will you do if your computer crashes just before it was suppose to alert you of your bus time? It happens according to SODS LAW!! hamiltoncruiser wrote: > > I need some kind of alarm to remind me of a couple of things before I > leave work and have to go catch the bus. > > Does XP come with something like that or can someone recommend some > spyware-free freeware? > > ...Lisa
Guest Bob I Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: pop up alarm clock for/included in windows XP? I just tested it and a notepad file works like a charm here. Open advanced, check the settings, and also make sure the task is enabled. hamiltoncruiser wrote: > That looks promising...I'd prefer not to download something. > > Can Scheduled Tasks open a document at the set time?

Guest franktee Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 RE: pop up alarm clock for/included in windows XP? Set your computer to shut down daily at the time you need to leave to catch your bus. franktee "hamiltoncruiser" wrote: > I need some kind of alarm to remind me of a couple of things before I > leave work and have to go catch the bus. > > Does XP come with something like that or can someone recommend some > spyware-free freeware? > > ....Lisa > >

Post-It Notes. Simple. Easy. Doesn't even require a computer.
Guest flatboy@myway.com Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Re: pop up alarm clock for/included in windows XP? Atomic Alarm Clock http://www.drive-software.com/atomicalarmclock.html I love this clock
Guest bwana Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 RE: pop up alarm clock for/included in windows XP? If you have Outlook, you can use the calendar or schedule function to enter whatever you want to do at the time and set the reminder or alert function to pop up whenever. It also has a snooze function that lets you set the time when you want to be reminded again. Pretty simple and it's built in.
