33612	2002-01-30 20:07:00	I am trying to connect via telnet, but I am receiving the following message at the start. Windoze cannot find PROGRAM.exe. This program is needed for opening files of the type 'URL - Telnet protocol'. A search of the HD finds nothing. Help is not helpful. Telnet is installed on this computer. Any thoughts?	Guest (0)
33613	2002-01-30 20:40:00	What version of Windows are you using? I use the built in Telnet in Win ME and it goes fine, and there is no PROGRAM.EXE on my computer (I just did a search for it).	Guest (0)
33614	2002-01-30 21:25:00	Hi Mike, am using version 5.1, but was not aware that ME had it built in. Thanks - I will go look.	Guest (0)
33615	2002-01-30 21:34:00	Mike, does win ME call it something else other than Telnet?? Looked but could not find, nor could I find any reference to it in 'Windows Set Up' and of course ME help was of no use! :-(	Guest (0)

That might work. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to make that the default ... it might spoil the action for other sorts of hosts.	Guest (0)

33619	2002-02-02 03:22:00	If there is a programme called 'program.exe' I am sure it won't have anything to do with telnet ... that protocol is one of the oldest Internet standards.	Guest (0)
