    Alarm?

    Is there an alarm I can set in Windows? Like a bedside alarm clock but noisier?

    I think I wrote a program that'll work as an alarm clock and plays a *.wav file of your choosing once.

    Yes it can...sorta...just requires some creativeness. It can launch a program on teh hour and I think it can open a URL on demand too which should work for sound files too.

    Been a while since I dusted off the code

    in windows u can set schedual tasks to run... its desgined for .exe files.... but if u browse and then select an mp3 it works fine...

    depending on which version on windows... depends on how u go about setting them up

    You could always write your own in VB. Would only be a five minute job. You keep saying you're going to learn a bit of VB one day....
