    type in "net send * this is the message"

    * sends it to all the computers on the network, so you can change it to ip etc

    By default, Windows XP disables the Messaging service, which is required for the 'net send' command.

    Click 'Start' > Right-click 'My Computer' > Choose 'Manage'

    On the left hand side, expand ' Services'. Scroll down the list on the right hand side until you see 'Messenger'. Double click it, choose 'Enable' and select 'Automatic' from the drop down list
