Windows – Telnet is not working in Windows XP

telnetwindows

Whenever I type the command "telnet" in Windows XP command prompt, I get the output as:

'Telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I've already enabled the telnet client by clicking on Start option from 'Administrative Tools\Component Services\Services (local)'.

Why then is it not working?

If you type telnet on the command prompt and get this error I'm convinced that you're XP has been explicitly changed in this way. The option you enabled is the telnet SERVICE (Which is a BAD idea!). That is opposite of what you tried in the first place which is the telnet CLIENT.
