Does anyone know of a little app (or any other way) that will play a sound file (it would be good if I could specify a .wav or .mp3 of my own) when a download has finished?

I'm using Vista Home Premium SP 2

Thanks

addons.mozilla.org

In IE 9, go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced (tab) and under Accessibility heading, turn on Play System Sounds. Should be similar for earlier versions :).

1268806 2012-04-08 01:52:00 In W7, to change the sound, go to Control Panel>Sound>Sounds (tab), Asterisk is the one to change. Should be similar for earlier.....

Edit: Ok, dont have Chrome on this machine

I do have Chrome on the Vista machine, but there doesn't seem any way to set it to make a sound natively. Guess because they designed it to be fast, had to leave stuff out :).

This might allow scripts to play audio (or open any utility) after completion. But then need build a script, or find one online. Some downloaders would auto run antivirus software automatically after a download. kahawai chaser (3545)
