A 'Nag file' is a small sound file which we can use to replace one of the system sounds in Windows to remind us to turn off the screen and printer (and any other peripherals) when we log off Windows.
What is a system sound?
Your computer plays a sound when certain events occur on your computer. (An event can be an action that you perform, such as logging on to your computer, or an action that your computer performs, such as alerting you when you receive new e‑mail.)
Windows comes with several sound schemes (a collection of related sounds) for common events. Additionally, some desktop themes have their own sound schemes.
