How to Make Windows 7 Computer Talk at Start Up


If you are bored with your Windows 7 plain and simple startup sound and message, then this hack will add some spice and fun to your computer! Thanks to a small, little file  you will be able to make your Windows 7 talk at startup and greets you with a nice voice, Windows 7 own synthesized voice!
  1. Open your Windows Notepad.
  2. Copy and paste the following text to Windows Notepad:
Dim speaks, speech
speaks=”Hi There! Write here what your Windows 7 will say at startup!”
Set speech=CreateObject(“sapi.spvoice”)
speech.Speak speaks
  1. Now you should save the file on your desktop. Such a file will be saved as a .txt but we  need to change it to a file having  .vbs extension.
  2. Click File on the upper left side of your Notepad window.
  3. Click Save as…
  4. On the left pane select the location where such a file will be saved. In our case you will have to save such file on your desktop.
  5. In the File Name field you should see something like this: *.txt  This determines how your file willbe saved ( .txt file).
  6. Modify the file name and the file extension  from *.txt to Windows_Voice.vbs
  7. Now, click the Save button.
  8. Move the .vbs file to the following location: C:\Users\ UserName\AppData\ Roaming\Microsoft\ Windows\Start Menu\ Programs\ Startup  and…you are done! Next time you will turn on your Windows 7, your computer will talk!
