How can I make CRT the default rlogin application so that I can launch it from a web browser?

This functionality was added to CRT 4.1 and will not work with earlier versions of CRT. To set up CRT as your default rlogin application, make the following changes in your registry.

  1. Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\telnet.
  2. Export this branch to a registry file by selecting "Export" from the "File" menu. Be sure to choose "Selected branch" as the "Export range" option.
  3. Edit the .reg file and replace every instance of "telnet" with "rlogin".
  4. If the key KEY_CLASSES_ROOT\telnet\shell\open\command is not in the .reg file, manually add the following lines to the end of the file.
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rlogin\shell\open\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\CRT\\CRT.exe\" %1"
    Be sure to put in the appropriate protocol name. If your CRT location is different than the one shown above, you will need to modify it to use your install folder.
  5. After saving the registry file, double click on it to import it to the registry.

You will now be able to start CRT from your web browser by typing "rlogin://<hostname>" or by inserting that link in a web page.
