Hi,
I recently had to manually enter the registry to change a setting. A virus changed the ability for Windows Firewall to operate on Windows XP.
I had to go into the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
and change "EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000
to "EnableFirewall"=dword:00000001
There are a couple other options in there also that may be worth considering.
"DoNotAllowExceptions"=dword:00000000
"DisableNotifications"=dword:00000000
The Windows Firewall is dependent on a few settings, so this is not the only one required (maybe it could check others?)
----
I registered especially to recommend this. Please consider (if not implemented already, however if so I could not find the wording that explained this option)
Thanks for a great program,
Osei
