How to create shortcut for Windows Firewall rule (enable/disable)?
Hello,
hopefully this is right subforum to start this thread :)
I've googled on how to quickly and easily enable/disable single Windows Firewall rule without having to open the firewall, going into advanced options, and eventually manually finding my rule there.
Best I've found was two commands when searching for 'shortcut':
run, netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="NameOfFirewallRule" new enable=yes
and
run, netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="NameOfFirewallRule" new enable=no
Firstly, I don't know how to use them (how do I create shortcut containing the above lines) or if they work at all.
Then, perhaps there is an easier way to quickly disable/enable single rule in Windows 7 firewall?
I did search the Tutorials section here, but only found how to make shortcut for whole Windows Firewall, which is not what I'm after:)
