Leave message to another user using the same computer?

[deostroll]

I have a computer with windows xp professional edition installed in
it. There are two or more people who use the system, but I am the
administrator however. Is there a way by which I can leave a message
for another user who uses the same system? That person has to get the
message once he/she logs into his/her profile? I am thinking of a
simple message box which would contain my message and the username of
the sender.

If there is such a feature can the person (who is not an
administrator) send me messages in the same manner?

You can use Yahoo Messenger for that.

One time message or every time? You can write a simple program (VBScript) to
generate the pop-up and place it in their Startup folder.

Hmm thanx. I get back with more doubts.

You could do it with logon scripts.

There is more than one way to do this sort of thing, but here is a very easy
simple one: open notepad, type your message, and save it to the user's
startup folder.

This is just what I've been looking for. Now I can leave myself reminders
for the next day. I created a document in Word 2000 and pasted it into
Startup. Thanks!!

I've put a script in the startup folder that reads the user's text
file and displays the message. The problem is that the "limited user"
cannot delete the text file in his name. (Because I created it for
him.) Is there any way that he can write, save and delete that file
with full permission.
