I want to use Xshell as my default telnet client, especially to connect to devices using url:telnet.

RESOLUTION


  1. Create a .reg file with the contents found below and run it by double-clicking.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Xshell.telnet] @="telnet" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Xshell.telnet\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NetSarang\\Xshell 7\\Xshell.exe, 0" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Xshell.telnet\shell] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Xshell.telnet\shell\open] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Xshell.telnet\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NetSarang\\Xshell 7\\Xshell.exe\" -url %1" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xshell] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xshell\Capabilities] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xshell\Capabilities\URLAssociations] "telnet"="Xshell.telnet" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications] "Xshell"="Software\\Xshell\\Capabilities"
    • Enter the exact path where Xshell is installed.
