Does it have to be exactly in the style of Windows, or are you looking for just general custom pop-ups. It's possible to code them if you're a willing programmer, but I've never heard of such an application feature that allows you to create your own. I might be wrong though.
Can you give an example of what sort of thing you'd like to have pop-up?

Hi KirstyN,
Thanx for your reply. It will be okie even if I can make normal custom pop-ups, if not exactly like Win XP ones. Though pop-ups like Win XP would always be better. :)
I recently had a virus "Zlob" in my Pc. It gave me fake pop-ups like my Antivirus is expired, bla bla bla & used to provide links. I got this idea from it.
I want to make custom pop-ups like asking people to do certain task.
eg: Running a particular program before opening pendrives. I do it to avoid Autorun viruses.
