; There is currently a bug where telnet.exe and some other commands will not work.
; This appears to be due to permissions. "dir telnet.exe /s" using Hoekey can not see.
; c:\Windows\System32\telnet.exe
; Strangely C:\Windows\System32\ping.exe works and appears to have the exact same permissions.
;
; Temporary solution, as a regular user copy telnet.exe to C:\Windows\ which is already in the system path.
