Quick Net Message

Quick Net Message is a small software application developed to help you send messages to one or more users in your LAN (Local Area Network). The tool stands as an interface for the Win NT4/2000/XP Messenger Service (‘NET SEND’ command). It can be installed on all Windows versions out there.

Portable utility

This is a portable program which can be stored on USB flash drives or other portable devices so you can have it with you all the time. In addition, you may run it without administrative privileges on the target PC. Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no setup included in the process.
No settings files and registry entries are left on the host computer so you can get rid of it using a quick deletion task. The configuration settings are actually saved on the storage device.

Clean looks

You are welcomed by an intuitive design that embeds all configuration settings into a single window. There’s no support for a help manual, only a few details about the utility’s functions are displayed in a dedicated panel. However, you can manage to set up the dedicated parameters on your own because they look highly intuitive.
The program can be found sitting quietly in the system tray without disturbing your work. A double-click on its icon brings the configuration panel to your view.

Send messages to other LAN users

Quick Net Message gives you the possibility to type the text message directly in the main window or paste it from the clipboard. In addition, you can make the application clear the text message after sending it.
What’s more, you are allowed to preview the message content, check out the total number of characters and spaces, view a list with all computers available in the network, refresh the list with a single click, as well as pick the user from a drop-down list.

Bottom line

In conclusion, Quick Net Message has to offer nothing more than simple and straightforward features for helping you send messages to LAN users, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
