The ability to receive these messages is disabled by default on Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2 (and perhaps the latest SP of Win2K). They haven't served much purpose in a long time and were used by people to annoy others in office and university situations, so it was disabled quite some time ago.

...useless. At our school we used netsend for a while till someone figured out how to message the entire network. Needless to say netsend is disabled and half of our class was suspended for a while because some of the messages sent were kinda threating. But, this is a major reason that it is disabled in most businesses, universities, and high schools.

if we did that our IT department would get very annoyed. They are kinda stressed about safty at our school not, since we've had 3 mercury spills at school in the past 2 years. Any threat to or in school about bombs or mercury and the school is taken to full lock-down.
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

or for quick access, just save the net send (destination) (message) to a .bat file using notepad, and then if you want an .exe just use the .bat to .exe converter
