Vault File System Archiving send notification using Messenger Service

This issue has been solved. See solution.

I'm trying to have a pop-up explanation appear when a user tries to save a blocked file.  So if I try to save a .jpeg to my Home Directory, it'll alert me that this is a restricted file and cannot be done.  I have it set up in Vault and although it's not allowing me to save a .jpeg to the restricted location, it is not alerting of this using the message I entered in the Vault notification screen.  Instead it says the file name is too long and won't allow me to save it.  Any suggestions?  Vault says it uses the Messenger Service but we have Windows 7 which doesn't have that service.

Unfortunately XP was the last

Unfortunately XP was the last to use the messenger service.
Since then it has been replaced with "msg" on Vista (Business, Enterprise and Ultimate) and on Windows 7.

So instead of

net send [username] "Some kind of message"

You would use

msg /SERVER:[machineName] [username] "Some kind of message"

(i.e msg /server:workstation1 techGirl33 "File could not be opened")
