I have a question

[KMFDM]

Hello, I want to know how I would go about making a prompt, when windows starts up, for example when my computer boots up I want this little error type message to come up and say something, how would i go about doing this?

Is there away to do this without having to make a login at the start up?

have you checked out the guide to running scripts in the scripting guide in Winguides?

<<<<<<<<<<<about here :O)

J have never tried this:
As user Charlie suggested, use scripting MsgBox function,
Use a RUN entry in the registry under HKLM, more at:
<a target="_blank" href=http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/109/>http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/109/</a>
and as run command call the COMMAND.COM processor to start up and execute your script.

Ok, I know how to place a program so it runs at windows startup but how do I make it look like a error message or something?

if you want it to be a bit more fancy, you will have to to some real coding rather than a simple script.

Make a small Visual Basic exe to be called from the script.
