Here is one way.
You can use Microsoft HTA to make a simple dialog with a yes and no button on it. Your IT might not allow HTA but most do.
This is also very little code to do in c# but you would need to compile and distribute it.
What did you want the [Yes] button to do? I made it simply close the window.
I made it open the default browser window to DuckDuckGo.com .. I am sure that isn't what you will be doing.
I am not here for continual support to make it do EXACTLY what you want. I am giving you a starting point if it doesn't do what you want already. I am happy to answer questions but not author your solution if this isn't it. Perhaps your additions can be used to update this answer.
Pros:
- Built in to windows
- Web based GUI
- Direct access to vbscript or javascript (jscript)
Cons:
- You will see a flash when it opens.
- Many more cons will show up in the comment section I am sure ;-)
To use it, save the text to a file called anything you like with a HTA extension.
Double click to run and pick "Microsoft (R) HTML Application Host"
To run from task scheduler (or a shortcut), It will be MSHTA <path_to_hta_file>
