Can someone point me to the registry key for enabling/disabling the Windows firewall?
I am using Windows XP SP3. I looked this up on the internet and found these paths:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainProfile
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\StandardProfile
The above paths do not exist. Does anyone know where this can be found?
I am asking because on a computer I am working on the windows firewall is grayed out in both the user and administrator profiles. The computer came from a workplace where it was on a domain and the company had their own firewall, so they disabled it in both profiles. I am looking to enable it again through the registry. Thanks.
If you want to keep it grayed out and off, you would keep the key and enter a 0 in the folders I mentioned above OR if you want to keep it grayed out and on, you would enter a 1.
