Vista - Help with msg.exe in winvista!!

04-04-2008

I have vista home premium, and saw that you have gotta use msg.exe instead of
the 'net send' option in win xp, but when typed in cmd and the search bar, it
says that
"'msg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file."

Any help?? I have activated all the advanced services (e.g. telnet etc.)

msg.exe is not available in the Vista Home editions. It's in Ultimate &
Business editions.

You might try Netsend...
