How to disable the Windows Firewall Service in XP SP2?

's Computer Specifications

Does anyone know how to disable the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection
Sharing service in Windows XP SP2 in the registry? I know how to manually
disable the service under Computer Management -->Services, but I would like
to see if I can add/modify a registry key to do the trick. Any ideas would
be appreciated. Thanks!

Set the Start key value to 4 under SharedAccess.
