We are not able to run Telnet in Win7 (64bit) with IE8 (32 bit ) (example: telnet://ip), but it works with 64bit IE8. Any solution? Thanks Bahram

I do have telnet client installed, and that’s why I can telnet with 64 bit IE8, but the default IE for win 7 is IE8, 32 bit, and seems like there is no telnet.exe for 32bit IE8. As I said this problem is only on 64 bit win 7 with running IE8 32 bit. Is there any official work around or fix for this problem from Microsoft? Thanks

Save the key to a location where you can easily locate the file if it needs to be restored. If this key does not exist, please add the Key as named above. 4- Right click “FEATURE_DISABLE_TELNET_PROTOCOL” again and select “New” and “DWORD (32-bit) Value” from the menu. In the right pane, name the new value “iexplore.exe”. Verify that the value for iexplore.exe is 0x00000000 and then close regedit.exe. 5- Copy %windir%\system32\en-US\telnet.exe.mui to %windir%\SysWOW64\en-US
