Lizard Popup (PowerShell)

A tiny PowerShell script that pops a lizard image at random screen positions and plays a sound every 0.5 seconds. Each popup auto-closes after ~3 seconds. Press Ctrl+C in the console to stop.

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• PowerShell 5.1 or 7+
• Windows Media Player available (WMPlayer COM object)
• Files in the same folder: LizardPopup.ps1, lizard.png, lizard.mp3

Run

• PowerShell 7+:
  • pwsh -File .\LizardPopup.ps1
• Windows PowerShell 5.1:
  • powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\LizardPopup.ps1

Stop anytime with Ctrl+C.

Notes

• Change the popup interval by editing $ms (in milliseconds) in the script.
• Adjust volume by changing $global:mediaPlayer.settings.volume (0–100).
• This is intentionally disruptive (popups + sound). Use responsibly.
