Posted a method a while back bout knocking out windows ICF using reg keys.
Heres one were you can just issue a command:

netsh firewall ipv4 set opmode | mode=disable

u sure this works?


wt about all of this:?

net stop Security Center -the whole security centre?


HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Start", 4, "REG_DWORD" -so it dont start upon next comp startup

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\ImagePath", "%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe /f", "REG_DWORD" -same thing


+ it says invalid paramater - =disable lol. that dont work u need to change the end bit.

I have tried this as well on both Home and Pro with SP2 installed. Both times ipv4 was invalid.

Are you sure this works on Windows XP SP2 or was it Windows XP SP1 and prior that you have tested it on?

Sorry guys, hadn't tested it, i was just flicking through a quick article. First time I hadn't tested something before posting and it didnt work :-s - valuable lesson!

This is the article i was flicking through:

Think the command is a little off...Here is the command for the firewall and related switches pre SP2. Although i have not had the opportunity as of yet to explore if the command and the switches are the same for SP2. Or if there are added switches for SP2

netsh firewall set adapter (*)

Usage: set adapter name [icmp type#|all=enable|disable]
[port port#=enable|disable [name=name] [protocol=tcp|udp]]
[ignoreglobalport port#=enable|disable [name=name] [protocol=tcp|udp]]
[filtering=enable|disable]

i have tried it on XP (no Sp's) and it dont work

Instead of writing a bunch of reg entries,you can try this:


That`s all!

Have a nice day!
