Does anyone know where to find Windows Firewall (I assume it's a .exe application) on a Windows XP computer?

Spookster 08-01-2006, 09:39 PM Go to your control panel. Switch to classic view if it is not already. Right click on the Windows Firewall icon and click create shortcut. When it asks you to put it on the desktop click yes. thesmart1 08-01-2006, 10:46 PM Thanks! Also, I'm putting together a series of menus (kind of like DOS menus, but in HTML) for myself to use on my computer. I know you can open .exe applications, but is there any way to open Windows Firewall from an html file? mark87 08-01-2006, 11:54 PM It's a control panel applet (firewall.cpl). Can't remember where it's located, think it might be in system32 dir? Edit, yup, C:\WINDOWS\system32\firewall.cpl. thesmart1 08-02-2006, 03:36 AM Yup, it worked! Thanks for the help! |
