Could one of you experts tell me how to use a batch file to write a program that makes the system pop up a message box with some content at a specified time?
Thanks!

I can only think of one way: first write a batch file that calls the Messenger service under Windows. In fact it's only one line:
net send 127.0.0.1 "the content you want to be shown"
The prerequisite is that the Messenger service is running.
Then use the at command to have it call this batch file at the specified time.
