You can also mess around with the Net Name command 
 
Net name &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;list current net send users 
Net name /ADD BOB 
Net name /DELETE BOB

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
