Message Minder (ver unknown) Abandoned Freeware Message Minder is a program that would normally be run within the Autoexec.bat file, or a Batch file run on a schedule. Message Minder displays a user editable "notepad" where a few words of text can be added or changed. Its primary purpose is to leave an electronic message for the next crew after a work shift change (use with caution in batch files intended to be presented instead to a general public). Message Minder stores the message in a file called "MESSAGE.FIL", located in the same directory as the executable file.
