Messages from shortcuts

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Is there a way to create a message or alert that comes up on a user's
screen when the user launches a program? For example, when a user
launches Internet Explorer she sees a message that reads "Do you have
time for this?"

If this is not something Win XP can do on it's own, is anyone aware of
a 3rd party utility that does this?

Thanks in advance
