Send Messages thru your network using Net Send
If your running XP SP2 you will need to turn on
the messenger service which is disabled. By default.

2.In the left pane, right-click
My Computer,
and then click
Manage.
3.In the
Computer
Management window, expand
Services and
Applications in the left pane, and then click
Services.
4.In the right pane, double-click
Messenger.
5.In the
Messenger
Properties (Local Computer) dialog box,
click the
General tab.
6.On the
General
tab, select
Automatic
from the
Startup type
list, and
then click
Apply.
7.Under
Service status,
click
Start, and
then click
OK.
Once you have that set you can use the simple command prompt and net
send command, example:
c:> net send
Computername Hi this is a test
If you want to use my little batch file I
created here it allows you to leave the command
prompt open.
@echo off
: A
Cls
echo Created by Alan Mitchell EyeTweaks.com
set /p name=cpuname:
set /p message=Type Message:
net send %name% %message%
Pause
Goto B
: B
echo Created by Alan Mitchell EyeTweaks.com
set /p message=Type Message:
net send %name% %message%
Pause
Goto B
This creates a text box using command line Net send which then ask for the
computer name then the message.
Note: net send ? will bring up the properties for the net send command.
