I run multiple users on my XP machine and noticed my limited users were getting firewall config error on login (Dialog box that offers to test the validity of the firewall install)…
I fired up Process Monitor to troubleshoot the issue, and have included the fix and revert files for the registry below to help other users. Basically one registry key required stronger permissions.
Not sure how this affects the overall security, but I’m willing to live with it, to silence the noises in me head… LOL
