Then you have to turn it back on. Going through the menu to do that can be a hassle. Why not create a shortcut to make it easier? Here's how: <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Right click an empty spot on the desktop and select New, then Shortcut</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">In the shortcut wizard dialog box, under "type the location of the item," type netsh firewall set opmode disable</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">On the next screen, when you're asked for a name for the shortcut, type Disable Firewall</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Repeat steps 1 and 3 but this time type netsh firewall set opmode enable for the location and type Enable Firewall for the shortcut name.</li> </ol>  Now you can disable or enable the firewall with a single click</blockquote>
