I don't know why your attempt acted like this, but I know how I'd
implement this. Create a text file containing the single line "telnet
smtp server 25", and save it with the extension ".cmd". Now right-click
the desktop, and select "New|Shortcut". Point the new shortcut to the
*.cmd file you just created.
Is there a reason why saving the file itself to the desktop wouldn't work?
Anyway, I changed the extension from BAT to CMD but there was no difference in
behavior.
Tahnks.
