Getting it to Work in Vista

Want to piss someone off? Next time you’re at their house, open up notepad on their computer and type the following:

text1=msgbox(”Click yes to undo”,52,”!”)
text1=msgbox(”Are you sure you don’t want to undo?”,52,”!”)
text1=msgbox(”Well whatever. It’s your computer.”,52,”!”)

Now hit Ctrl+S (save) and change the Save As Type from .txt to All Files. Now name the file popup.vbs and hit save. Feel free to open the file to test it out. All it does is pop up a warning box (to edit the text that displays, change the text in the code. The ‘!’ part is the title, not some weird bit of code).

Now click/drag or cut/past the vbs file into some directory your friend won’t stumble onto. Try the Program Files folder or something. Now right click on the icon and click Send to… -> Desktop (Create Shortcut).

Now click the start button and under All Programs should be a folder called startup. Open it up and put the shortcut to your vbs file into it. Whenever you friend turns on their computer, the warning box(es) will pop up.

It works on vista…you just have to change the code to

x = Msgbox(”Hello”, ,”Critical Error”)

x = Msgbox(”Hello”, ,”Critical Error”)

x = Msgbox(”Hello”, ,”Critical Error”)

    You’ll have to terrorize your XP friends then. Vista users get enough torment as it is. :P We don’t deserve any more.
