Can Windows 7, Vista, or XP notify me after 30 minutes, or at 2:30pm?

Can Windows 7, Vista, or XP notify me after 30 minutes, or at 2:30pm? Come to think about it, since Windows 3.0, Windows 95, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, and Windows 7, does any Windows have a capability of giving a "beep beep" notification to me, let's say I need to go meet somebody after 30 minutes?

"The AT command? It's a simpler command line version of the Task Scheduler.

Try running something like this from a command prompt as a local admin:

AT 1430 ""C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe c:\windows\media\tada.wav""

Full options available with AT /?"

Windows always used to come with Calender, but they took it out (I think with Windows 95), your best now is to use Microsoft Outlook for reminders and appointments - You can set sounds / music and alerts at intervals.

"You can use Windows 10’s Text-to-Speech capability and Cortana’s voice (SpeechSynthesizer class), e.g.

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Speech
$synthesizer = New-Object -TypeName System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer
Start-Sleep 1800; $synthesizer.Speak('Hey!')

This will say Hey! after 30 minutes (1800 seconds)."
