I just keep on forgetting what to change to get this working. As I don't want to search everytime I'm just posting a shameless copy from Rene's ICT Notepad.
Enable handling of telnet://hostname:port/ URLs on the command line. With this feature, you can now set PuTTY as the default handler for Telnet URLs
If you run the Registry Editor (Start->Run->regedit.exe) and set the value in:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\telnet\shell\open\command to be: "\path\to\putty.exe" %1
(with the full pathname of your PuTTY executable), you should find that clicking on telnet links in your web browser now runs PuTTY.
This is confirmed to be working for Chrome on Windows 7.

And again this webpage helped me, I always forget too.

ReplyDeleteWorked for me in Chrome on Windows 10. The path I used in the registry was C:\Users\Joebob\Desktop\putty.exe %1
ReplyDeleteDidn't want to sign up but wanted to thank you for the tip. Getting Chrome to open any sort of telnet app was driving me crazy. Your instructions worked like a champ, and remembering to include the %1 at the end made it pop to the correct site. Thank you!
