A novice question: Is this even possible?

    I need to create a program that autoruns as soon as soon you plug in a usb device. I would like a message to appear (one which i control the contents of, of course). It would be beneficial for me to chose appearance of the message (background, text color, etc.) but it is not essential. I would like the user to be unable to click anywhere but the message. I want a single button which says "continue", which is greyed out (unclickable) for about 30 seconds (or some other time of my choosing), thus forcing the user to read the message. Once the button is clicked I would like an .exe file to be run.

    With all that being said... I have no idea how to program. I looked into C++, but I had no idea what I was doing (Even the tutorials were too advanced for me). So now I'm looking into C basic, but is all this even possible from such a basic program? What would be the simplest (easiest to learn) programming software that I could achieve this on? Also if you could point me in the right direction for an easily understood tutorial on the program I would really appreciate it. Sorry if this is a lot to ask, but thanks in advance!

    Read the tutorials but don't do anything, once you are done, go back to the tutorial and do what it says.

    I would get a book explaining the basics.

    If you succeed in writing this, your customers will hate you forever and curse your name. Reconsider, I beg you.
