Have you ever seen or heard a computer welcome its Owner before either in a movie or in the real world?
Would you like to give your PC this look of professionalism?
Well if yes,then you are right on track.

In this tutorial, I'll be sharing with you a cool trick to make your computer welcome you by mentioning your name each time you switch it on.

So,to activate this awesome feature,just follow the steps below carefully...
Step 1 »

Launch / Open Notepad (Start » All Programs » Accessories » Notepad)
Copy - Paste the code below in it →

Dim speaks, speech
speaks="Welcome to your PC, EngrSoma"
Set speech=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice"
speech.Speak speaks

In the code snippet above,Replace “EngrSoma” with your name or any other name
Click on “File” menu and select “Save as...”
Next,select “All Files” from the `Save as type` option and save it with any name.vbs
E.g
Welcome.vbs

Now,copy the new notepad file and navigate to
C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Start Menu\Programs\Startup if on Windows Xp.

OR

C:\Users\ {Your User-Name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup for Windows vista, Windows 7 & 8 users.

Note 

"AppData" is an hidden folder.
So to access it,just press the windows key and search for “showing hidden folders”.Once found,just select it and click on “OK”.
Paste the copied text document in it and exit.
The next time you start your Computer,you will be welcomed with the "welcome message" specified in the code above.
Note: This can be changed to anything.

Step 2»

In order to ensure that this customized welcome tone isn't over-ridden by the default windows tone,it is advisable the sound scheme is changed to “No sound”.
Here's how to go about it...

Navigate to the Control Panel.
Click on Switch to Classic View»Sounds and Audio Devices
Next,click on the Sounds tab and choose No Sound from the Sound scheme options.
Finally, click on OK
That's all.
You can never know how interesting it is until you try it out.
So,anytime you start your Pc,you should be greeted with your customized greeting.
