Default unsecured wireless network

I can pick up an unsecured wireless network must be one of my neighbours. Who ever it is hasn’t even changed the password on his router settings from "admin". Is there any way of warning him by sending him a message over the network, ive got his IP address.

Do a net send through dos ie

net send 10.128.8.1 "Turn the wireless security on on your Wireless router!"

Should work if the messenger service is running on his pc. The other option is to navigate to his c: drive (a bit naughty I know) and put a txt file under the startup folder warning him. Might freak them out though!
