Is there a program similar to Winpopup in win2k pro? I know win98 has it and its very handy since it can send messages to the network without the client having any messenger program installed. I want to do the same on my win2k machine, does it have a similar program? thanks all:)

I have never used winpopup but with NT and 2k you can send messages with net send
all you have to do is go to run and type: net send ComputerName "text"
the quotes are nessisary and the computer name is just the name of the machine in the windows network, also this is a service so it can be shut down and restarted.

yeah, the net send messages will show up in winpopup if you're sending to a win95 machine
and winpopup will look like net send messages in win2k
