pause
goto :A

:B
sc config Messenger start= auto
sc start Messenger
cls
echo LAN Messenger
echo.
set /p target=Target IP Address:
set /p body=Message:
net send %send% %body%
cls
echo.
echo Your message has been sent.
echo.
pause
goto :A

Step 2: Save the File


Save this notepad file with extension .BAT .

Step 3: Grab the IP Address:


Ask your friend their IP address and there you go! You can start chatting with your friend. No other software needed.
