XP uses the NET SEND command. There is no GUI tool built into XP for this
purpose. There are a number of low cost and free applications that will
duplicate the functions of WinPopup on Win2K/XP.

http://www.softpile.com/Utilities/Network/Review_15256_index.html is one. A
web search for "Windows XP winpopup" will turn up numerous others.
