Ever wanted to create one of those pop-ups that always nag you on the computer? Or trick someone with a fake error message when they log in? Here's the place to go!
Step 1. Open Notepad
Step 2. Type this: x=msgbox("This is the message that will appear in the pop-up",1,"This is the title that will appear in the pop-up")
Step 3. Save it as anything.vbs. DO NOT FORGET TO PUT THE .VBS AT THE END!
Step 4. Open it and voila!
Help: The number 1 in the middle is the button of the pop-up. It can be either 1,2,3,4, or 5. There is different buttons/button for each number. Example: 1 is OK, 5 is RETRY and CANCEL, etc.
Trick someone!
Step 1. Put the title as Error Code 675218429, or another large random number, and the message as a random error message you'd expect.
Step 2. Save it to the desktop.
Step 3. Open the Startup folder
Step 4. Drag the pop-up file to the startup folder.
Step 5. Log off
Step 6. Log on and VOILA!
Now your pop-up appears whenever you log on! You can also drag anything into the startup folder from images to applications and it will appear when you log on. You can make pop-ups that say stuff like welcome to the computer and then Scratch opens or something. I have the scratch home page and a welcome pop-up when I log on!
See what you can do.
I hope this helped.
Bye!

Cool! I might try this on my brother sometime
But I think this would fit better in Miscellaneous - I'll move it over there for you

lol, that would be funny to do that to all the teachers and staff XD
And at my school, everyone would think it's a virus T_T The only people who might know what it is would be our tech teachers and the system admin.

I got already messages like this to work. I wrote a program in C# that allows you to create own pop-up messages and show them.
EDIT: I forgot to tell: With the program you can let it be an error message or a warning message or whatever!
