Firewall Registry Settings SP2

[Guest]

Does anyone know where the registry settings for the Advanced tab in Windows
Firewall are stored in the registry. I am able to find all the settings
under the General and Exceptions tab but no luck for Advanced.

Thanks

Hi

Instead of using registry values to configure the firewall, I suggest
you use netsh.exe to do this (it will handle the Advanced tab settings).

The netsh.exe syntax is documented in WF_XPSP2.doc.
