How to make a user specific log on message

How can I make a message box appear when a specific user logs on? and how can I it possible, control how many times it appears?

thanks

Check the %username% variable and launch a message box (vbscript) when appropriate. Sample batch file below for one user - not elegant but should give you some ideas...

Code:

:: popupmsg.bat

if %username% NEQ rik goto end

:: display message 9 times
if not exist e:\%username%count.txt set times_run=1&goto check
for /f  "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%a in (e:\%username%count.txt) do set times_run=%%b
set /a times_run = times_run + 1
:check
if  "%times_run%" EQU  "10" goto end
echo > e:\%username%count.txt times_run=%times_run%

set _t1= "Yesterday I got so old... Go on go on "
set _t2= "The Cure "

echo CreateObject( "WScript.Shell ").Popup %_t1%,,%_t2%>%temp%.\~.vbs
CSCRIPT //I //NoLogo %TEMP%.\~.vbs
del %TEMP%.\~.vbs

for %%V in (_t1 _t2) do set %%V=

:end
