How to make your computer a wake up alarm

You can use your computer/laptop to use as a wake up alarm. You can set the
alarm at night and set it to play your favorite song list in the morning
and hibernate it. It will resume from hibernate and start playing your
favorite song list in the morning as you wake up.


1. Create a playlist of your favourite songs in VLC or any other
application. Recommended: "AAj ki Raat.." from film Don2 it has that stupid
Shah Rukh Khan. Save the playlist and note the location of playlist on your
computer.

2.. Create a task in the task scheduler.
a. Go to Start menu -> All program-> Accessories -> System tools-> Task
Scheduler.
b. On the right hand panel select 'Create Basic Task'
c. In the mid panel you will get a window to fill up the details, Give
your task a suitable name eg 'wake ur a** up' click next.
d Select trigger as daily.Click Next.
e. Give it a start date like from next day and a start time when you
want to wake up.Select recur every 1 days.Click Next.
f. Select the the option 'Start a program' in this panel. Click Next.
g. In this section browse to your song playing VLC application exe file
The Application exe file would generally be at the program files folder in
C drive.
In the Add arguments section copy paste the exact location of the
playlist file (.xspf file) that you have created. Click next.
h. Check the details here and click Finish.

3.. Change the settings of the task.

a. You have created the task in the previous step. Right click on that
task from the list of tasks. And click on the properties.
b. Go to the conditions tab. In the power section uncheck the box saying
"Start the task only if your computer is on AC Power". Also select the
checkbox saying "wake up the computer to run this task".
c. Click on ok. and close the task scheduler.

3. Connect your computer to a music system. Make sure the music system is
on (sadly no other option).Hibernate the computer. Make sure you are not
shutting down the computer.

4. Go to Sleep.


* You can use any other application instead of VLC here with the same
steps. But not Windows media player as it will open the application and
load the playlist and then wait for you to click on the play button. So you
will have use another alarm to wake up then click on the play button then
go back to sleep and then again wake up listening to the music. Thats
dumb., thats microsoft.

If you have problems right to me.
