Can I create a repeating alarm through Windows 7 with no software?

[nelsonmorin04]

I work on a computer all day, in order to avoid my eyes and neck from bugging out, can I set an alarm to remind myself to get up from my seat now and then?

Visual Basic is a part of Windows 7.

No additional software is needed to create a Message Box.

MsgBox "Get up and stretch!"

Create a new/empty text file.
Copy/paste the line in the code box into that text file.
Save/name the file something like stretch.vbs

You can use a scheduled task to have that box pop up as often as desired.
