HyperTerminal Alternatives for Windows 7 or Vista

HyperTerminal is no longer part of Windows. There are several options you can use to replace its functionality.There are several alternative programs/tools like HyperTerminal Private Edition,TeraTerm,Putty etc.If you just can’t live without the original HyperTerminal in Windows XP, you can actually extract two files from your XP installation and copy them over to Windows 7 or Vista.

1.From Windows XP copy:

i) hypertrm.exe from C:\Program Files\Windows NT\
ii) hypertrm.dll from C:\Windows\System32\
to the same folder location in Windows 7/Windows Vista.

2. Create a shortcut for HyperTerminal on the Desktop if you wish and run the application.
