I need our students to receive Winpopup (win98w/s on an NT4 domain) messages from the print controller but don't want them to be able to send messages.
Anyone know how to do this

I'd like to see the article but the URL must be incorrect ?
do you have the Q number ?
Later .. Found it now - not what I wanted to do - I want to send messages to w/s but stop them sending messages ( time wasting school kids ) !

You need the Messenger service enabled and started for the printer to send messages to users. To avoid them sending messages to each other you can use several tricks:
1) Hide the shortcut to winpopup and / or rename it.
2) Use a local policy (policy editor) "Allow run only authorised widnows applications". Warning: do not forget to include poledit.exe with the authorised applications.
