Hey programmers

Is there anyway I can use my computer clock to open a file (wordpad) document at a certian time of the day, like a reminder.

You could get an alarm clock program. Never used one before, though... I know that Win3.1 had one, but I think it's hidden/removed for XP.

Here is a small program i just made which you can use if you want. It just puts up a message box at the time you want.

You need to rename the extension to .exe (its .tmp atm) as my webhost doesnt like me uploading EXEs. So it should be 'Alert_Program.exe' when you change it.

^ that one sucks. here is a better one. I managed to upload it as an exe too.
