>Using Scheduled tasks (but this could be a wrong translation of italian 'Operazioni pianificate' accessed by Start-Accessories-SystemUtilities-Scheduled Tasks?) I'd like to display a message i.e. each Monday at 11:00 am, no matter if a Dos window, a VBScript Msgbox().

The following works for me:
* MessageTest.CMD
@ECHO OFF
ECHO Your Message Goes Here
PAUSE
EXIT
* In Scheduled Tasks, RUN field:
CMD /C C:\TestFolder\MessageTest.CMD
