How to make a message pop-up on notepad.

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  tongue

But I think this would fit better in Miscellaneous - I'll move it over there for you  smile

Yeah I've tried this notepad coding before. It is simple, and cool! Although very limited compared to Visual Basic, it is fun to fool around with!  wink

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.

Re: How to make a message pop-up on notepad.

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.  tongue

EDIT: I forgot to tell: With the program you can let it be an error message or a warning message or whatever!
