I need a registry hack to disable windows XP SP2 Firewall.
Is this possibel?
Hi
The SP2 FW disables itself when it finds the following registry
settings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainProfile
\EnableFirewall=0 (DWORD data type)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\StandardProfile
\EnableFirewall=0 (DWORD data type)
(adding the registry values after SP2 is installed will also disable
the firewall at next startup)
Those registry values are documented in WF_XPSP2.doc
WF_XPSP2.doc "Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for Microsoft
Windows XP with Service Pack 2" is downloadable from
