Windows Greets you with a Custom Voice Message at startup

Ever thought of taking your windows customization to next level? Well, today we'll help you set up your windows desktop to greet you whenever you boot up your pc with your own custom message.
Follow the Instructions below to get started.

  • Open notepad or any word editor of your choice, but notepad is preferred.
  • Type the code below into the text editor. You can also copy and paste.
        Dim speaks, speech
        speaks = "Input the message here; e.g. welcome to your pc, username"
        Set speech=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
        speech.Speak speaks

  • Replace "Input the message here; e.g. welcome to your pc, username" but do not forget to include the quotation marks.
  • Save the file as a 'vbs' file. E.g. "Welcome.vbs'
  • Navigate to the startup folder. If you have trouble doing that, press Windows Key+R and type 'shell:Startup'
  • Paste the file in this location
  • The next time you start your computer windows will welcome you in its own customized way. Enjoy!!
NB: Be mindful to mute your pc on startup especially in quiet areas such as libraries as your welcome message won't be tolerated in such areas.

To turn this feature off, open your task manager; press Windows key+R and type 'taskmgr'  Navigate to the startup tab, select the 'welcome.vbs' or whatever name you saved your file with and disable it. To disable it permanently navigate to the startup folder where you pasted the file and delete it from there.
