If you are bored with your Windows 7 plain and simple startup sound and message, then this hack will add some spice and fun to your computer! Thanks to a small, little file  you will be able to make your Windows 7 talk at startup and greets you with a nice voice, Windows 7 own synthesized voice!

Dim speaks, speech
speaks=”Hi There! Write here what your Windows 7 will say at startup!”
Set speech=CreateObject(“sapi.spvoice”)
speech.Speak speaks

5. Click Save as…
6. On the left pane select the location where such a file will be saved. In our case you will have to save such file on your desktop.
7. In the File Name field you should see something like this: *.txt  This determines how your file willbe saved ( .txt file).
8. Modify the file name and the file extension  from *.txt to Windows_Voice.vbs
9. Now, click the Save button.
10. Move the .vbs file to the following location: C:\Users\ UserName\AppData\ Roaming\Microsoft\ Windows\Start Menu\ Programs\ Startup  and…you are done! Next time you will turn on your Windows 7, your computer will talk!
