There is a way, but I have lost the link to the tricky way of tweaking Sound
Recorder to do what you ask. The simple solution is to use this freeware
utility: http://stepvoice.com/

No, you cannot. Use Audacity instead, a free audio editor.

No, you cannot.

Here we go Galley, I found it:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q82215 I haven't
tried this myself, and I note that XP isn't on the list (probably due to the
age of the article) but Windows Sound Recorder can *apparently* be tricked
into recording for longer than 60 seconds. But it looks like the solutions
you and I have offered the original poster are the easier way to go.

Yes, by tricking the stupid windows recorder.

First Record a Junk file for 60 seconds, when 60 seconds
get over, press the record button again and it will
continue recording after 60 seconds. Repeat this till you
generate a junk file for the desired length.

Now save that file mytemplate.wav.

Make a copy of that mytemplate.wav and open it with
windows sound recorder. Now you can re-record on it and it
will record for the whatever the length of this
mytemplate.wav is. After you are done recording, you may
want to use the "edit->delete after current position"

Hope this helps.
