in SMS I have put a tick in ask user for permission before remote control of their PC. I would like to know if there is a way of having a message pop saying "an administrator is about to take over your pc." Then it allows the administrator to remotecontrol the pc with out the user having to click yes or no.

Are you familiar with the remote.exe utility which allows you to start a remote tools session from a command prompt?

Many administrators create a BAT or VBScript file to use this utility and supply the necessary parameters...one of which is thetarget computer. You could uncheck the "ask permission" box in the Remote Tools Agent configuration and put a Net Send command with the message you want in the BAT file which executes the remote utility.
This would not automatically help with clients remote controlled from the MMC unless you built an MMC extension to also execute the BAT file with a right click from SMS Tools...
