    thanks kempez, you've just introduced me to a wider world.

    Incedently - I'm building a system for someone, and want either a theme or widget (couldn't find one that would do this) that will announce "Good Morning Tonka" to him - like HAL 9000 or in a crappy voice like that robot on Beneath a Steel Sky.

    Does anyone have any ideas. Please...

    it'll freak him out.

    Why don't you find an audio file/make your own audio file, and set it to play when windows starts up?

    I just remembered I wanted it to be time specific (am= Good Morning; p.m.= good afternoon), I'd also like it to say other stuff (I suppose these can all be specificed in "sounds" under CP) such as "Affirmative", and "Scanning", and "I am a computer", preferably at random.

    i ripped the sounds from HL2 and use that atm... as for windows customization c the best way reaaly is with a hacked run32?.dll . oh and you can get custom boot and login's too..
    Virtual Plastic.net has everything you should need somewhere.
    AMD3000+ ATIX800XL + GBNF44x mobo.. all at stock because they're good enough atm + CA A1 amp-->Mission 73S Loigtech MX1000 + 1GB ram + 1/3 TB HD array
    Wintendo XP + Linux (when it works) .. just incase you were wondering
