Solve : batch file event sounds?

Answer»

since windows XP Pro does not have an event sound listed for the opening and closing of INTERNET Explorer I WOULD like to know if it is possible to create a BATCH file for this purpose. I have a few HAL9000 wav files that I would like to use so I can make my drab pc a little more interesting. My dos skills are on the newbie side but I am willing to give it a try.
Thanks,
aradoYour batch file would have to use a program to play a sound, launch IE, and then play a closing sound. You might be able to use SNDREC32 which comes with Windows. An example using SNDREC32 can be found at: AnnoyTheCat

Note: the example uses CHOICE which does NOT COME with XP but it may give you some ideas.

If you really want to jazz up your drab PC, write a Windows Script and use the Microsoft Agent where you can use animated characters (Merlin, Peedy, Robby or Genie) and synthesized speech.

Hope this helps.
