i got my computer wednesday and naturally after setting it up i went exploring.....well i found that i could send a message to another user's desktop on my computer....this message was in the form of a pop-up window and you push "ok" when you are done reading it.......well a few hours later i wanted to send another message (after i had been exploring my computer even more) and wouldn't you believe it, i totally forgot how i did it....im really hoping someone can help me....this has been bugging me for the past few days now....

thanx,
nina

    It sounds like you were using Windows Messenger (or some other Instant Messaging program - do you use AOL?). I can't tell you exactly how since I neither use nor respond to Instant Messages. But, I would try opening Windows Messenger and see if that helps jog your memory.

    If you are refering to the windows 2000 (XP) Messaging system, you can easily sent messages to all users on your local machine.
    go to start->run
    type "cmd" enter
    type "net help send" for helping info
    you can type "net send * MESSAGE" where MESSAGE is what you want to say in double quotes. (i.e. net send * "whatzup yall")
    Don't use it too often, or you may start annoying people on your LAN.
