Due to some problem with the server I am not able to upload the pictures if u want in graphical manner please download the attachment given below.
Step 1:Capture The "Alarm" In order to create an alarm, we will need a sound. There is a special character that when in a batch file or entered in command prompt, will cause a tone to play through the internal speaker. In order to get that special character, you need to do a key combo in command prompt then save it so you can copy and paste it. Thats what I'll do in the next few steps
Step 2: Open Command Prompt Goto start> run, then type in cmd, then press OK
or Goto start> All Programs> Accessories> Command Prompt
Step 3: Change Directory
Once in command prompt, type cd desktop That will change the directory command prompt is in to the desktop.
Step 4: Echo, ECHO! Now that
you've navigated to the desktop, type this: echo @echo
Step 5: Key Combo
Now hold down ALT & 7 (must be on the numpad) at the same time. "G" should appear.
Step 6: Save as Batch
Now Type: >alarm.bat ">" means save and "alarm.bat" is what you are saving it as.
Make sure you remember the ".bat" part, or it wont be saved as a batch file.
Step 7: Obtain The Character
Right click on the newly created batch file and click Edit. Then select the box looking letter that is the character, and copy it. You've now successfully captured the rare alarm character! Clap Clap Clap...
Step 8: Delete
You can now delete the file "Alarm.bat
Step 9: Alarm Code
First, open Notepad. Then type: @echo off :alarm "@echo off" means that it won't show you whats happening. Keeps batch files clean.
":alarm" is a label
Then paste the special character under that.
Next type: cls goto alarm "cls" means clear screen. It just removes everything on screen off the command prompt. Sorta like a dry erase board. "goto
alarm" means that it will goto the label ":alarm" Goto File> Save As, and save it as "Alarm.bat"
Step 10: Done! You can now run the batch file
"Alarm.bat" and it will sound an alarm through your computer speakers! One neat thing to do is if you have a password protected batch file, you can
sound an alarm if they get the password wrong! I have included it in a bonus step
Step 12: Password
ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH BATCH!
Here is it in a password: @echo off title Password Echo Please enter password to proceed. set /p udefine= set variable1=(Yourpasswordhere) if %udefine%==%variable1% ( goto correct cls ) cls color 0c echo Invalid Password! pause goto alarm :correct (rest of batch file here) :alarm cls go to alarm
