You can actually make your computer greet you every time you login in to your PC and here are the few simple steps, you need to follow.

You can make your windows greet you with a custom voice message at start up

  1. First you have to click on the Start Menu and then navigate to accessories and Notepad.
  2. Copy and paste the following in the Notepad
