I was playing around and found a way to send a message to the other user
on my computer. I had to right click on the user name and scroll down
to send message. Then when the other user logged on they got this
note. Now I cannot find where I did that.

Can anyone help?

Rick , I'm not seeing a Users tab on the Task Manager. Is there a
hidden option somewhere to enable it?

It requires FUS be enabled in order to be seen. Disabled, that tab will not
appear Bruce.

To see the Users tab in Task Manager:

Computer needs to be a member of a workgroup or a standalone computer.
The Users tab is unavailable on computers that are members of a network
domain.
The Welcome screen must be turned on.
Logging on at the Welcome screen is not available on computers that are
members of a network domain.
Fast User Switching must be turned on.
Fast User Switching is available only when the Welcome screen is turned on.
Fast User Switching is unavailable on computers that are members of a
network domain.
