Is it possible to have a sound file (mp3) start when Yo Window starts? I have a sound effects CD which would go well with the screensaver.

Cheers, Roger

Not with YoWindow itself (currently).
You would have to use a small batch file to start the mp3(-player) and YoWindow. But this is just an example how it could work.

Example (you would have to exit the music-player by yourself if you want to when you exit YoWindow):

Code: Select all

START /B c:\Programme\YoWindow\yowindow.exe
START /B c:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe "c:\Temp\03 - MyMusik\04 - Instrumental\Rondo Veneziano\Odissea Veneziana\Odissea Veneziana - 03 - Bettina.mp3"
exit
This batch-file starts YoWindow and then starts the VLC-mediaplayer with the given mp3-file (you would have to adapt the paths of course).

Thank you for that....I shall give it a go until YoWindow has the facility...as I am sure it will at some point!
