hi all. i have recently networked 4 computers together and i haven't
grown up yet so i started playing around and figured out some thing
like you can open other cd drives on different computers (but this
trick has worn off and is boring now). i know that you can do other
things because one of my friends sent a messege to me in notepad that
just appeared on the screen. so i was looking for some other tricks i
could do over the network.

thanks in advance

what he did was save a document on your desk top... try this from the
command prompt to your friend...

net send * "Message"
