My HTPC is running Windows XP. I sometimes want to set an alarm that will go off at a certain time. I will be watching HD TV on my projector, fed by the HDMI output of the TV card. I want the PC to alert me that it's, for example, 1:30PM. Something like a beep would probably be OK (if it's loud enough to hear but not annoying). Or something else that works and isn't obnoxious. I figure there's stuff out there, but don't want to catch anything installing it. Maybe there's something built into Windows for this? It would seem to be pretty simple. TIA for ideas.
