Hi Paul,

I am wondering how users of wpkg handle notifying users when the
'Messenger' service is disabled? I know Windows XP have the msg.exe (%WinDir%\system32\msg.exe) command, which is not a bad option if you only deal XP.

My preferred method is to have wpkg call "net start messenger" immediately before sending the messages and "net stop messenger" immediately afterwards. Not perfect (and doesn't work if messenger is disabled rather than set to start manually) but it's a start.

Yours,

Frank



Thanks
Paul
