Does anyone know how to disable the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing service in Windows XP SP2 in the registry? I know how to manually disable the service under Computer Management -->Services, but I would like to see if I can add/modify a registry key to do the trick.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI think I've finally stopped procrastinating and I'm ready to risk installing windows xp home edition SP2. But before I do, I want to be sure I do all the "prepare your computer" things I'm supposed to do. I did a complete hard drive backup. I'm running Norton System Works 2006, which includes Norton Anti-Virus. I thought I also had Norton Internet Security but apparently I do not. So I don't know what if anything I'm running for a firewall!!! [big problem perhaps, but a different thread!]
One message on this forum says "disable anti-virus and firewall..." In my case, how should I do that? I've disabled NAV "auto-protect" using the icon in my system tray. Is that enough, for NAV? I will disconnect entirely from the internet before installing SP2. But once I do that, do I still have to disable a firewall?

If you are a music junkie that does not use Facebook you will love the service, for everyone else, almost all of the features already exist in the Facebook world. Although using Facebook may not be as elegant as using Ping, it is worth the few extra clicks to avoid another separate list of friends and likes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed service pack 2 for my windows XP pro computer, and I am happy to say that I have not come across any problems after the installation. I am now using the service pack 2 firewall that is on by default as my primary firewall now because it seems to be improved from the original windows xp firewall (ICF).Before I installed SP2, I was using zone alarm as my firewall, and recently upgraded to version 6. After upgrading it, I noticed that it was accessing my hard drive a lot more than usual and taking up resources so I checked the zone alarm forums and noticed how a lot of other people were having issues with it so I got rid of it.

For security reasons is there any way to disable this from happening? Ie, some settings on computer X so that any other computer can't just randomly shut it down.I seem to have read somewhere that it's dependant on the Remote Proceedure Call service, but that can't be stopped.
This problem just started occurring today. Whenever I lock the computer, then unlock it, automatic updates turns itself off and the red alert pops up in the taskbar. Same goes for when I restart the computer.
How can I fix this? I never turned them off and when I try to re-enable them, the security center tells me that it can't re-enable them for some reason, so I have to do it manually. However, the problem persists even after I turn them back on.
It seems like every time I turn around something (certainly not me or anyone else that uses this computer) removes the check mark that I've placed on the Recording tab of the Properties for my CD-Writers. I have several on this computer. This is getting to be a major nuisance.

Since I probably have something on the order of 5-10 million files on my computer (this isn't an exaggeration; I have several million files from research with medical data), this part of the scan essentially means that I always have to cancel Disk Cleanup, because it will never finish.Is there any way to do Disk Cleanup, but disable the scan for old files that Windows would want to compress?
