How to Enable Telnet in Windows 7

Reading time: less than 1 minute

Telnet is a command line tool designed for the management of remote services via the Command Prompt. Unlike Windows XP and Vista, or Windows 7 It does not have the Telnet client automatically installed. You will need to enable it before you can start to be used. Here's how to enable it by following the steps below.

1 – Open the Control Panel.

    1. Good afternoon,

      Checks whether the user has administrator permission; if there is, turn off the computer and try again. If still unable to activate telnet, you can use the Putty program to access. (http://www.putty.org/)
