I have a simple batch file called xtel.bat stored on the desktops
of three computers. telnet <email_server_domain_name> 25
On two of the computers (these are all XP Pro), it executes the
command line but on the third, it merely opens the CMD window.
Originally, on the third machine, it opened in an editor. I had to
change the file association to Windows Command Processor. So, how
do I get this bunny to execute when I double-click the desktop
icon? (Does it matter that the user on the 3rd machine does not
have admin privileges? Thanks.

Not sure what you mean.
Next be nice to yourself - put the .exe on the end of commands
An exe doesn't invoke the Command Processor, does it?
Then - if an administrator level user opens a cmd window can they get
the command to run if not perhaps try ipconfig
what about just, without any parameters telnet
Then - from your limited user (desktop) will it run there
What I did do to troubleshoot was to open a command window and type the command
telnet <servername> 25
from the non-admin user. That works.
