Guest deostroll Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I have a computer with windows xp professional edition installed in it. There are two or more people who use the system, but I am the administrator however. Is there a way by which I can leave a message for another user who uses the same system? That person has to get the message once he/she logs into his/her profile? I am thinking of a simple message box which would contain my message and the username of the sender. If there is such a feature can the person (who is not an administrator) send me messages in the same manner? --deostroll

One time message or every time? You can write a simple program (VBScript) to generate the pop-up and place it in their Startup folder.

There is more than one way to do this sort of thing, but here is a very easy simple one: open notepad, type your message, and save it to the user's startup folder. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup
Guest Gary Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 RE: Leave message to another user using the same computer? This is just what I've been looking for. Now I can leave myself reminders for the next day. I created a document in Word 2000 and pasted it into Startup.

The problem is that the "limited user" cannot delete the text file in his name. (Because I created it for him.) Is there any way that he can write, save and delete that file with full permission. --deostroll
