By default, Windows 7 doesn’t install the Telnet client. The client is for text-based communication with remote systems. You can install it by following these steps:

1. Click the Start Orb, then select Control Panel.

2. Select Programs and Features.

3. Select Turn Windows features on or off.

4. Check the Telnet Client checkbox.

5. Click OK.

6. A box will appear showing the installation process.

When it finishes running, the client is installed.

    Why would you install Telnet??? Use "putty" or something else, which uses secure connections!
  • dan
    totally agree with Tom. I think we all should be happy that telnet was not installed...
  • Michael
    I agree, and I don't even think telnet should be allowed as an installable option.

    But after that it says something like this:"Fatal error.Not all of the features have been changed!"
    Any ideas????
