Kana Reminder is a program which can be used to set a reminder to be
triggered at a specified time. It can also be used to run another program at
a specified time.

Can be set to remind on hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or annually basis.
Can be set to run a program when the reminder time is triggered.
Has built in shutdown, reboot, and log off routine to be used to schedule a
shutdown, reboot, or log off.
If a file associates with a program, the Kana Reminder can be use to launch
that file. For example, you can specify a WinAMP playlist file. When the
reminder time is triggered, because the file associates with WinAMP, it will
run WinAMP and play the songs on the list.
Can be set to remind again within specified time.
Can run automatically with Windows.
The triggered reminder window can be set to pop up automatically, and to
auto dismiss within specified time interval.
The triggered reminder window can be set to always on top.
The reminder data can be secured by giving a password.

Kana Reminder places an icon on Windows notification area (the area next to
the clock). When Windows' Explorer crashes, all icons on that area usually
disappear. Kana Reminder can place back its icon on the area when the crash
occurs.

(You can turn off the weird cartoon genie if desired.)

I tried a dozen or so, and this one continues to blow my mind. I've
been using it on a WinXP machine, with NO problems since installation
several months ago. You can set up one, multi, or a full year's worth
of alarms, hit snooze, etc. I've got it rigged to show me birthday and
bill payment reminders. A cartoon bubble appears on screen, showing
the data I've entered (my option), while playing whichever sound file
I've selected: wav, Win Media, MP3, MIDI, Apple Audio or Sun Audio.
Intuitive enough that I've yet to crack the manual.

Full formal description:
------------------------
This program lets your computer remind you of important dates and
events.

-- It uses Microsoft® Agent to show a talking animated alarm. The
alarm can also play any sound you choose and includes a handy snooze
button.
-- An alarm can be set to go off once, daily, weekly, monthly or
annually, with very flexible scheduling. Each alarm can have multiple
schedules.
-- An icon in the Windows system tray gives quick access to the alarm
clock. The New Alarm Wizard makes adding an alarm fast and easy.
-- Talking Alarm Clock's windows are easy on the eye, with soft colors
and gentle transitions. There's also help balloon that shows a full
explanation of each part of the Alarm Clock window.
