Switching Windows firewall on/off?

[lanux128]

i want to quickly enable the "Don't allow exceptions" option in Windows Firewall (see pic) before going online. so i'm wondering which registry keys are involved so that maybe i might be able to whip up a mini AHK script to do that and also toggle on/off the windows firewall.. Any ideas?

the following command disables exceptions:

netsh firewall set opmode mode = ENABLE exceptions = DISABLE


To allows exceptions:

netsh firewall set opmode mode = ENABLE exceptions = ENABLE


turn off firewall:

netsh firewall set opmode DISABLE


turn on firewall

netsh firewall set opmode ENABLE
