hey. at school all the computers are networked and we sign in to our different users. what i was wondering is some people are sending little messages to other users but i dont know how to do it! how do you send a message that pops up to other users. it looks like a box that you have to click ok on and you have to with these ones but it says a message. this isnt a msn messanger or anything like that. plz help me! thanx!

If the computers at school are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP they are probably using the net send command. Example- net send type computer name here "type message here" This will work if the computers are members of the same domain or workgroup. If they aren't you will need to add the domain name or work group name before the computer name. Clear as mud eh?

hey, thanx for trying to help me but i still dont understand how to do it. how do u go to the net send command. the computers at school are actually windows 2000. what prgram do u go to? im sorry but i need it explained easier! thanx though. plz rite back again.
