Is there a reg hack to increase the amount of messages in a buffer? Most of my batch files that run at night send me a staus message, but NT limits the buffer to about 8 messages. I used Winpopup on 9x machines and I average about twice that per night. Thanks. Mike.

If there is, I can't find it.
TechNet article Q132524 says that 6 is the "hard-coded" max that Messenger will allow.
Now, on a 2000 Pro machine, I got 12 to be accepted. I did not try past 12. So, perhaps if you can upgrade to 2000 Pro, that mighthelp.
I did a search on my favorite NT hints sites, plus some general searching. No luck.
Sorry.
Here is the article I mentioned:
