Enable Telnet in Windows 7

The Telnet command is featured in Windows 7 but is disabled by default. I just happened upon this after upgrading my work machine to Windows 7 and immediately had to telnet into a switch. I thought it was pretty ridiculous when cmd prompt told me telnet was not a recognized command lol. Anyways here is how to enable Telnet on your W7 machine

Start >
     Control Panel >
             Programs and Features >
                      Turns Windows Features On or Off >
                                   Select Telnet Client to connect to others.
                                   Select Telnet Server to allow others to telnet to your machine.
