Enable telnet in Windows 7

Needed a telnet session from my windows7 a couple of times in the past 6 months. Up until today i gave up downloading a third part application for that purpose, and turned on a VPC image with an XP os.

Then by coincident i needed a windows feature and found that both telnet client and server i just disabled in windows7 by default. Propably due to the security issues attached to telnet (always ssh whenever you can). But i need telnet from time to time.

Here is how you do:

1. Go to control panel
2. Go to "Turn windows features on or off"
3. Go to "Telnet client" and set the checkmark in the box

That's it.
