How to enable telnet in Windows Vista

I have been doing the "Star Wars Telnet Hack," on the computers at school. (XP computers.) But I have been wanting to do it at home, on my Windows Vista. So I searched around, and found how to enable telnet on Vista, and I thought I should share it with the Instructables community.

Step 1: Open Control Panel

You first need to go to your start menu, and select your control panel.

My computer will not configure this. I click o.k. and it says "Configuring settings (this might take a few minutes)" Then sits there with no progress for half an hour. Any suggestions?

Great 'ible! I just finished all the steps and I'm waiting for it to update! P.s. I'm using windows 7 and I'm pretty sure it's going to work

I enjoyed your instructable, but i didn't think your pictures were appropriate. I think a soccer player should be kicking obama in the head. after all, he is the current cause of every problem we currently have, as well as the future generations will have. May the force be with you...

I know the star wars thing is not a hack, but thats what people call it, and there are more people that are acquainted with that name.

[Tailslvr7_7]

Yeah I totally know! The so-called "star wars movie hack" is actually posted on a website, and therefore, it's not a hack, but a well-known way to watch a movie. And if anyone reading this does not believe me, try watching it without a internet connection.

terminal is blocked on the computers in my school (macs)

[Hoboman]

Sorry, but I don't have any experience with macs. I'd love to help, but I can't.

[firemanfu]

yeah thats cool i was just expressing my distaste for people that block computers, why block something , somone out there can get around, just bring it in on a flash drive

[Hoboman]

yeah, thats what I do for CMD at my school. I have a portable version on my flash drive.
