WinPopUp was a gui for the Net Send Command, Net Send is provided my the messenger service which in Windows XP SP2 is disabled. You can enable it through Control Panel...Administrative Tools...Services, but you'd have to do this at each machine. I don't recall whether the messenger service exists in Vista...

When i was at school we used to start a Word doc and type 'c:\' then make it a link

Then browse to Winpopup or whatever else you wanted to use.
