      Yeah, I know. If you had done it yourself, it’d be sane looking. Like this:

      Const sleepTime = 20 * 60 * 60000
Set shell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Do While True
  WScript.Sleep sleepTime
  WshShell.Popup "PLEASE CHECK ALL GET ARE INTACT. IF MISSING REPORT IMMEDIATLY. THIS MESSAGE WILL SELF DISTRUCT IN 10s'." ,10 ,"CHECK GET Click OK!", 0
Loop

      Note: I’m not sure which version of the VBScript engine your WinNT box has. For a while, the engines were released with Internet Explorer. It wasn’t until Win2K that VBScripts were guaranteed to actually run, and WScript.Sleep wasn’t included until version 2.0.
