Idiot operators sometimes forget to plug in the power !!

This laptop's very ordinary power-management options can dim or turn off the screen.

But what I want is an app which is invisible until power falls
to x% WHEREUPON a popup and possible a .wav file wake me up.

The web seems to have many sources hawking exactly the same product, which does not meet the specs above.

Anyone know of one that does>

I can't give you specific instructions for Windows 7 as I'm using a desktop, however I know that Windows XP can play a sound file when the battery is low (but it doesn't by default)
