at the bottom of the small window was a OK button

For the class, you can stop it if you want by disabling the Messenger service.

Ok thanks, sramesh2k you answered correctly and will get the points. I just have one more quick question. Is there anyway I can specify the place the message came from. Instead of it saying my computer name is there any way a can specify a name that the message is from.

To know which user has sent the msg?

Click start | run | cmd
type "NBTSTAT -a <ComputerName>"

replace the <computername> with actual name u seen in messenger service window.
