Seemed to remove ok and I did a full shut-down & restart . No remnants of that firewall remain in registry.
How would I check?
How can I get Win firewall back to where it was? Is it an adaptive wall, will it 'learn'?
Purpose of edit is to include attachment which seems to indicate security is good.
So I'm a little confused.

Well like I said I know nothing much about windows firewall. You can reset it via command prompt:

RE: Disable UPnP at router level. Unfortunately I'm not expert on the many makes and models of routers. You'd have to research your router manual.
My results for comparison:
RE: Third party firewall removal and checking for leftovers. I'd do a monitored install but it's not exactly straightforward. Other than that you can use something like Revo Uninstaller to take care of software removal.

Anyway I wouldn't worry too much about those tests. Just as long as your firewall blocks unsolicited inbound network traffic you should be okay.
Sounds good Callender ... and thank you.
One final question regarding the Windows Firewall:
How can I configure it generally and specifically how can I get it to refuse ping requests (reputedly one of the oldest ways of probing) ?
Yes Callender, I understand you use Comodo but I left the question hoping someone else might respond.
btw is yr comodo free-ware or do you pay ?
I use free CIS plus Firewall. However creating firewall rules isn't straightforward.
