Hello everyone!
I have a way of doing this- and I'd like to share it with everyone.
First off- this works on absolutely and type of computer, so long as it has a text document [not microsoft word] just plain text document or notepad will do.
Next, type this in on the first line (do not forget the spaces) : onclick=msgbox ("<put what you want>",any number,"<put what you want for the blue bar>")

thats all!!! You can do lines like this :

onclick=msgbox ("<put what you want>",any number,"<put what you want for the blue bar>")
onclick=msgbox ("<put what you want>",any number,"<put what you want for the blue bar>")

... and despite what you click it will move onto the next box.
In fact- you can try this as an example - copy and paste it into notepad:

onclick=msgbox ("Vista has encounted an error and may need to shut down.",67,"Error detected!")
onclick=msgbox ("Vista has identified an error and will shut down in order to protect your files.",894375,"Vista has detected an error")
onclick=msgbox ("Confirm shutting down? All your unsaved progress may be lost.",17,"Vista has detected an error")

There! Now remember each 'onclick...' must have it's own line. Ok, now save it as- something.vbs [*.vbs is important!!!] by click on the drop down and click 'all files' instead of '*.txt' Now you saved it, access it and it will appear! Despite clicking cancel it will still move on to the next box.
This is great for pranks and tricks, you edit the text- and the numbers. The numbers are the choices there are. Take '894375' and when you access it- you have only one choice. Just have a go- it's great!!! Don't worry, nothing bad will happen- it's just a trick- it won't really restart.

All the luck in the world,

Mike.

Mike, would you know a way to replace the "onclick" for something that makes the pop up box appear after a certain amount of minutes has passed?

Thanks in advance,
Victoria

Sorry VictoriaVisser, I've been experimenting with VBScript for some time now, and I know it's posible to make it disappear after a set amount of time, but I can't find anyway to make it appear except secretly pressing it!
I have a few tips:
... if you want to change the icon and make it less suspicious, then create a shortcut and link it to the file and then, change the shortcut icon via 'properties' and you can make it look like an Internet Explorer shortcut that is 'experiencing some difficulties'! ...

... download this attachment attached for an advanced method of VBScripting, (Note: it is text document- you'll have to change the ending to .vbs instead of .txt) and if you just want to copy and paste then :

x=msgbox("Delete local disc D?",36,"Disc cleaner")
If x=vbNo Then
x=msgbox("Really no?",36,"Adjusting")
If x=vbNo then
x=msgbox("But you can't stop it.",64,"Status")
End if
End if
x=msgbox("Cleaning is starting.",64,"Disc cleaner")


Please remember nothing bad will happen.
Still researching and experimenting.
