Unaware of any other way to send/receive messages through windows, but you may be able to find a freeware or shareware program at one of the following links that will meet your needs;

SnapFiles - Instant Messaging

Tucows - LAN Messengers

 

Hi,

You could use netsend from the command prompt.

Go to run~cmd
Then type:
net send [recieving computer's IP Address or computer name] [your message]
Press enter

Please note the spaces. Also make sure the 'messenger' service is running in services.

Look here
