Simple Batch file to Backup Script ???

I have written a simple batch to backup files to a server ...  Now I know nothing about VB, but do know there is so much more you can do with it.  Can anyone help me out ??

cd c:\My Documents
echo %username% was last backed up %time% %date% > Date.txt
xcopy *.* \\Pongo\Home\%Username% /I /E /V /H /R /D /Y

Now I need to tart it up a little.  I need the following :

1. It to run in a Window so the user can see what it is doing / copying

2. Some sort of interaction from the user ie: You are about to back up your data to the server do you wish to continue ?

3. A completion statement ie: Your data has been backed up to \\location press any key to exit.

Thanks in Advance
