How to remove the telnet service in Windows 2003

How do you remove the telnet service from a default Windows 2003 Standard install. I didn't see it listed under Add / Remove Windows componets.

Select the vulnerability Details, then workarounds.  In there is shows you how to disable it.

If you Just disable the service you are likely to recieve multiple errors in winlogon.log  "5: Access is denied.  Error opening TlntSvr". and Event ID 1202 0x5 access denied warnings in Event Viewer.
