Many years ago in the times of DOS I did a batch or exe file that greet me when I turned on the computer, and press any key to start Windows 486.
Today I have VISTA and would like to do the greeting in this computer, but I have not the least memory of how to do it.
Is there somebody who would like to teach me?

You would need to create a .wav file, and then use this.

I haven't tried it, so don't know how good it is.
No, I do not want that the computer tell mi " have a good day". What I realy want is that the computer type my greeting.
"Winner never quit. Quiter never win. So, what you want to be, a winner or a looser"
and after reading it a press any key to start Windows Vista or Windows 7.
I need this encouragement every single day.
I would appreciate if some nice guy take the time to find how to do it.
@Others,
I am probably on the wrong track here but think we need a custom nice HTM page which opens in the browser from within the startup menu or is called from VB/CS/Power Shell Scripting.
The reason I say this is because just opening a notepad page or Cmd file with normal text will not have the impact of a full screen custom web page which can be dismissed or closed after reading.
Have to make one as not the same as running Dos bat file on old 486 machine which OP mentioned.

open notepad...
copy this
MsgBox "Winners never quit. Quiters never win. And you are a WINNER!"
and paste it into the notepad
click file > save as
in the next window give it the file name of
Possative Mental Attitude.vbs
and change the file type to be 'All Files'
then save it to c:\
now go into c:\ and drag the file to the start button, then up to programs, then to the 'startup' folder and let go, this will paste a copy in the start up.
this should give you a nice message box when the PC starts!

If NazzarenoCiccarelli uses the Auto Login Method, the machine could display a full screen animated web page which could be closed or dismissed as I was thinking originally but requires a bit of work.
A custom start log in screen Enthusiast suggested is a very good idea if NazzarenoCiccarelli uses the machine in the traditional manner.
Mind If i bring this back for a second?
