  1. Go to the Windows "My Computer" icon and open it.

  2. Click on the View -> Options menu.

  3. Click on "File Types..." tab.

  4. Navigate down to "URL:Telnet Protocol".

  5. Click "Edit...".

  6. Click on "open" in the "Actions" list.

  7. Click "Edit ...".

  8. Click "Browse...".

  9. Browse for MUSHclient.exe in wherever you installed MUSHclient (eg. C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\mushclient.exe might be where it is).

  10. Click on OK in each dialog box to close it.



All done! Now when you get a telnet URL it will open MUSHclient.



Caveat

You will get a new copy of MUSHclient for each session, not a new window in an existing copy. However if you like the world you have clicked on, just save its details (save the world file), close it and re-open in your "main" copy.
