1)start>run
2) type in: net send [computer] [message]
where [computer] is the computer you want to send it to (use its netbios name or IP address), and message is .... well... your message ;)

Alas this will not work for computers not on your network.
If you want to send it to an IP of a machine over the internet then you should look at a couple of different software packages.

There is one called IP Messenger - if I remember correctly this came with a trail version. Give it a play and also have a read on it, might give you a better idea how this all works.

PS: This seems to be the new way of spamming windows desktop users (ones running xp, 2000 and nt). Another reason why linux is better ;)
