Richard said:probably a stupid question but I can't find an answer -
how do you change the sender's name in net send so that
it's different to the computer name?

You can net send to any name that you see with an <03> registration in:
nbtstat -a computername
In addition to the <03> registrations, you can net send by IP address.
Also, the recipient of the net sends can register additional net send names
for himself by entering this at the command prompt:
net name SomeOtherName /ADD
Another thing that you can do as the sender is uses your HOSTS file to
create aliases, i.e.
[where computername is COMPUTER1 and IP address is 192.168.1.2
C:>echo 192.168.1.2 ray>>%windir%\system32 \drivers\etc\hosts
That will add an entry to your hosts file, and you can then net send that
computer by net sending ray.

Richard said:Thanks - what I'm actually asking is if I can hide /
change my name (as sender) so that my name doesn't appear
or appears as something else on the popup window?
