How to Make your PC Say your NAME at Startup

This trick that we are going to use, is a very short Copy/Paste Script based on Visual Basic Scripting that will be compiled using Notepad (saved as .vbs file). After doing so, that file will be placed in startup folder, so that it will be executed every time the computer starts.

2) Paste the following code inside it:

Dim speaks, speech

speaks="Welcome to your PC Username"

Set speech=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")

speech.Speak speaks

3) Change "Welcome to your PC Username" with anything suitable for you.

4) Click File>Save as... and save it as welcome.vbs (important .vbs extension)

5) Now test it by double clicking the Welcome.vbs file, it should say the text that you specified instep 3.

6) After testing it, let's put it in startup folder. Go to the Startup folder and Paste the file there:
