Is there a good ten-minute free desktop timer app for Windows that you
already use and like?

I have an really old but compact, simple program called alarmsimple.exe.

I love that app! You can set up work week alarms, weekend alarms
birthday and anniversary alarms, doctor's appointments. etc. etc.
Written in 1999 for WIN 95/98 but it just keeps chugging along - WIN XP
- 7 for sure, dunno about later versions of Windows.

"Yes, another alarm clock! This one sits in your system tray and can be
easily set to 1440 different alarm settings. You define the time and day
of week and whether a wav file, an executable program or a message that
will display. The program allows you to set a specific date that the
alarm will trigger on. For example you could set the alarm to go off
only if the date is July 17 1999 and it is a Tuesday, or you can set for
any Friday the 13th to play a warning sound. You can adjust how often
the program checks the time. Version 1.4. "

The almsim14.zip download file (144 KB) contains: AlarmSimple.exe,
AlarmSimple.txt, and an ALARMSIMPLE.HLP file that contains the same
info as the text file.
