the new security center

[martb]

the new security center that starts when Windows XP starts

i tell it i will monitor my own firewall
i tell it not to alert me about anything,
and yet the very next time i fire my computer up, i find
it has reset itself and alerts me i have no firewall
it has reticked firewall alert all by itself
it is starting to bug me

Hi

Control Panel/Security Center, click on the "Change the Way Security
Center Notifies Me" link in the left pane.


If that doesn't stick when you reboot, you can do the following:

To "solve" this problem, you can disable the Security Center service.


Start/Run --> services.msc

Find "Security Center" in the list, double click on it, set
"Startup type" to Disabled.


There is also a Group Policy setting available to disable the
Security Center (Start/Run--> gpedit.msc).

Take a look at the chapter for the Security Center in
06_CIF_Maintenance.DOC

What settings are added or changed in Windows XP Service Pack 2?
Group Policy settings (page 26 for me)
