How to send messages using command prompt

messenger1

Do you want to chat or just send a private message to your friend, family member or office mates without using any fancy program? Back in college me and my friends uses this trick to talk inside the classroom because we were not allowed to download or use any messenger services. A lot of this kind of tutorial are not working because they are missing something. I will show you on how you can make it work.

  • Open notepad
  • Copy and Paste the batch codes below

@echo off
:A
Cls
echo PCRemiX MESSENGER
set /p n=Friend:
set /p m=Message:
net send %n% %m%
Pause
Goto A

  • Save it as “MSG.BAT” or to any file name you prefer but make sure that you include “.bat” after the filename.

Don’t run it yet… because it will not work. follow these procedures to make it work.

Go to Control Panel then click on Administrative Tools

control-panel

On the Administrative Tools window click Services

administrative-tools

Scroll down and look for messenger

services

It will open the Messenger Properties set the Startup Type to “Automatic” then press “Start” then OK. No need to restart your computer.

Do this also on the remote PC and your done… you can now chat without using any software. Just run the program and enter your friend’s IP to “Friend” press Enter, then enter your message press enter again… then have fun :D

    Interesting tutorial, but I think geeks are more interested in using this than the ordinary users – well we have those free services like GTalk which works behind corporate firewalls. However, this one is of great interest to those who need to develop IM apps.

      so i did exactly everything that is done and it didn’t work for me either BUT!!!!! One thing that they forgot to mention, as i figured out later, is you have to active messenger first…..To do this
      1. type this without the quotes “net name” with a space in between net and name. It will then say if messenger has started or not started, if has not started just type “y” for yes and it will work. for there…..follow the steps as they said above……….remember when you send messages in the message part after you have entered the IP address…. you will type your net user name (space) ::(space) then the message…….and it will work.
