That command will output the text following the command (on the same line)

The purpose of my suggestion to use that command was to allow you to see if
the process you were double-clicking was being appropriately executed by
windows
I don't mean to quibble, but I was clicking on a batch file icon, not a process.
telnet.exe is the name of the program file
telnet without the .exe requires windows (or the cmd processor) to, in turn,
look for a .bat. .cmd batch file, a .com file a .sys file and then an .exe
( there are registry entries detailing the file types that are considered to
be 'executeable' - and they probably include .vbs as well as other types)
So be specific tell the OS what type of file it (windows and/or the command
processor) should look for
If the command processor could not find a suitable "telnet" object, wouldn't it
emit an error message? When I click ont he batch file icon, the command window opens to a
DOS prompt and just sits there, waiting a (typed) command.
As
telnet <servername> 25
from the non-admin user. works,
then it would seem that the problem is more likely to be with the file
association of the desktop file than with user permissions and the
'allowability' of that user to run a cmd window, telnet, or execute a
command stream held in a .bat file
I manually associated the batch file's extention with the Command Processor. Before I did that, the batch file was opened by Edit when I double-clicked it.
Thanks.
