Would anyone like to have a free 300 points?
I need some help on a simple April Fool's joke.
My friend had a virus on his machine that displayed a huge black circle that you couldn't minimize. I'd like to create a "program" that has this feature, which stays on a user's screen for 2 seconds, and goes away. This can be randomly shown from 1 minute to 5 minutes. I don't have a problem making this timer stuff, my question is how do I draw the circle, so it stays large on everyone screen?
How do I do it so if you're working in a window that has focus, this circle is shown on the top?
Is there any way I could embed this within a word document? If i send it out via email it would launch if they clicked on the word document? (You don't have to answer this one if it goes against your beliefs)
Last time I went to their machine and planted the .exe myself. That was fun.
I'll split up points for the help.

I work at a hospital...
My co-workers are pranksters. This would be fun for the whole family.
I already got something from here which opened their CD drawer every 3 minutes. That was fun.

I need to add the always on top part but this is cool.

OK the always on top is in it. I am having it disappear/reappear every 5 or so seconds.

That's a good start...
I wouldn't mind modifying it, not a big VB'er, can you tell me where you set the every 5 seconds thing at?
This will work, just needs some tweaking :-)

I wouldn't want to be part of this outrage.

Seriously though, have you ever considered that hospitals and charities have to spend money on anti-virus software, which could otherwise be used to help people.
