just whack it into notepad and save it as whatever.vbs, make sure the type of files is "all files"

Thank you. But it does not work. Must I use notepad or other programs?

Paul 01-04-2008 11:52 AM

*any* text editor, what happens when you open the vbs? Prob don't got scripting enabled

ParamiteSurprise 01-04-2008 12:06 PM

Vb is so powerful you could just program a malicous script :O

Even worse with DOS - With dos you can program a nasty script... Delete system32.. :(

When I open it, it's like the first kind of error. And I can't chose "yes" or "no".

yes thats why most people dont have the vb6 runtimes installed so no vb apps run at all.. and why you should turn scripting off

and you can't delete system32 on windows nt+ because there is no deltree anymore, you could do del *.* but windows file protection will replace the files as they're being deleted, and the really really important files are always in use anyway

of course you could just delete the stuff from the root of C: (if you wanna delete a file with vb the function is "kill "C:/somefile.ext", carful though ;)

Oh, man, this is some really funny stuff. I was such a nerd, I couldn't help but to set up this error for my dad:

lol = msgbox("HOW ARE YOU NERD?! ALL YOUR MEMEORY ARE BELONG TO US! YOUR HARD DRIVE IS ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO REBOOT MAKE YOUR TIME!! hahahah!",16,"Error")


Also:

lol = msgbox("OMG! She's pregnant with a retarded alien, most likely to kill you when it's older baby that will use it's fecal matter as blunt projectiles! What will you do?!",vbabortretryignore,"Error")

I just couldn't help myself!!

E'l Scrabino 01-07-2008 03:39 PM

It doesn't work for me. I type in the stuff but when i re-open it, it just shows the text i put in. No error message for me :(

scrab queen 01-07-2008 04:02 PM

How about a clearer version?:

Open up the 'Notepad' program, and copy this into it:

lol = msgbox(" insert text",16,"Error")


Where it says 'insert text' is where you put your message.
Then save it under any title you want, but be sure to put '.vbs' after it.
When it's saved, double click on the file's icon (It should look like a blue unraveled piece of paper, like a scroll), and then it should pop up.

bwhaha, it worked! Man, I sux, but I still worked XD Haha, thats weird

Tsk tsk, you're saving it as blah.vbs.txt not blah.vbs

ParamiteSurprise 01-10-2008 07:36 AM

Paul 01-10-2008 10:09 AM
