Tidbit: How to generate popup windows with DOS?

TO DISPLAY POP-UPS with DOS.

echo X=MsgBox("Message Description",0+16,"Title") >msg.vbs

–you can write any numbers from 0,1,2,3,4 instead of 0 (before the ‘+’ symbol) & here is the meaning of each number:

0 = Ok Button 
1 = Ok/Cancel Button 
2 = Abort/Retry/Ignore button 
3 = Yes/No/Cancel 
4 = Yes/No 

–you can write any numbers from 16,32,48,64 instead of 16 (after the ‘+’ symbol) & here is the meaning of each number:

16 – Critical Icon 
32 – Warning Icon
48 – Warning Message Icon
64 – Information Icon

============
This itself is incomplete for any OS higher than Win XP, so u need to use this command afterwards,
msg * "msg"
