Countdown clock Programming
« on: August 08, 2014, 07:25:13 am »
I have a freebie countdown clock I use daily.  There are a few things I would like to add to it; however, I do not know what it was programmed with, or how to find out.  Is there a way to get to the software that drives it?

Once a program is compiled to a exe you cant change it. It isnt in code, it has been complied.

What is the program you are using?

Thanks Shane.  It is a very simple countdown clock (attached).  I just wanted to put a default to 30 minutes instead of 3 and fix the alarm since it doesn't work.  I am happy enough with it live it as it is.

Something that basic you dont need a program, you can do it yourself :-)

Here I made one for you. This is a bat file that uses powershell to play a audio file 10 times after the 30 min timer goes down.

Right click on the bat file and click edit to make any changes you need :wink:
