You can use this process to change the command interpreter used by the Telnet server and displayed for the user in its Telnet session.

By default, the command interpreter is % systemroot % \ system32 \ cmd.exe. You can change it to any command interpreter by changing the registry value.

Membership or equivalent identity in the Local Administrators Group is the minimum requirement to complete this process.
