After you install SP2, you might find that you can no longer use NET SEND to send messages to another computer on the LAN using the NET SEND command. This is because SP2 disables the Windows Messenger service by default. To use NET SEND, you need to start the Messenger service, and change its startup type to Automatic so that in the future it will start by default when you reboot. Here's how:
1. First, right click My Computer, click Manage, expand the Services and Applications node and click Services.
2. In the right pane, scroll down to find the Messenger service. Right click it and select Properties.
3. On the General tab, under Startup type, select Automatic from the dropdown box.
4. Click OK.
5. Right click the Messenger service again, and select Start.
SP2 disables the Messenger service because it is exploited by some hackers to send unwanted messages. If you enable it, you might be vulnerable to receiving Messenger spam.
