I need to use Putty as my Telnet handler client in my ESXi lab. I tried every possible solution that I could find. But nothing worked.
Is there any command I could use in the Registry to force Windows 10 to use Putty instead of the default Telnet client?

It seems You need to modify
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\telnet\shell\open\command– Akina – 2018-06-04T17:05:58.800OK. I know that. But how to do that ? I tried to do it few times, but it didn't work. Could you please be more specific on how to do it ? – Chamo – 2018-06-04T17:25:25.350
Change the default value of this section and set it as
"X:\Folder\Putty.EXE" "%1", whereX:\Folderis the drive letter and folders path to Your telnet client. Or simply go to Associations tab of Control Panel and change the association of telnet protocol (not file type!) to Your prog. – Akina – 2018-06-04T19:09:09.130In the : "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\telnet\shell\open\command", the value date is.............. : ""C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" "C:\Windows\System32\url.dll",TelnetProtocolHandler %l" ... You want me to change the value inside it to the path of my Putty client ? – Chamo – 2018-06-04T21:47:13.580
Yes. And don't forget to store somewhere (for example, create BACKUP key in this section and save this value in it) original value. Additionally check PuTTY user manual for its command line switches - maybe You need to add some keys/commands to the command line You will write instead the original one. – Akina – 2018-06-05T04:16:40.427
It worked ! I saved the original "value data" in a text file as backup as you suggested. Thank you very much for your help, sir. большое спасибо :) – Chamo – 2018-06-05T18:49:35.973
