Winpopup

[David H]

Just a quick question - Can winpop be used with XP pro? If
not is there something similar as I just need a simple
popup notification tool.

Greetings David,

Actually "WinPopUp" is built into the operating system as the "Messenger Service" and is on
by default.

To send a message, use the "net send" command. To do so, click the Start button, then click
Run, and enter:
net send computername themessage

Where the computername is the computer name of the person you're sending to, and themessage
is the message you want to send.

If you want an interface to do all this, check out Lantalk XP:

I am using 'Winpopup LAN Messenger'
(http://www.winpopup-lan-messenger.com). It is tcp/ip lan messenger, so
you can forbid netbios and permit the winpopup in your personal
firewalls - more right imho.
