Hi guys! Today i'm gonna be showing you how to make a Fake Error Message on Windows without any programming skills or programs. Let's get started!

Making and Modifying It.

Making:

So, first copy this following line of code in your Notepad:

x=msgbox("Text",0+16,"Title")

On "text" write your own message text, and on "Title" write the message title.

Now, save it as ".vbs" file and now if you click the file, it will show you the error message you writed.

Modifying:

If you think what that number is "0 + 16", it is the number to choose the "style" of the message.

Here's a list of the many types of the message before the +.

0 = OK button only.

1 = OK and CANCEL

2 = ABORT,RETRY and IGNORE

3 = YES, NO and CANCEL

4 = YES and NO

5 = RETRY AND CANCEL

Here's a list of the many types of the message after the +.

16 = Critical Message

32 = Question Message

48 = Warning Message

64 = Info Message

Masking the Fake Error Message.
