Re: Where does ICF store it`s ACL ?

[Strcpy <elite_netbios () yahoo com>]

Hi again

thnx for the mentioned document on SP2
but I`m talking aboust SP1 .
not decided to upgrade to SP2 yet ;)

and about choosing another FW .
that`s not a problem , moveing to another
Firewall like ZoneAlarm or anything esle...
it`s as easy as some clicks to run my setup.exe
but I should find out baout this behave if ICF.
some where in registery I located some keys mentioned
to ACL`s added to ICF , but changing/removeing them
changed nothing .
seems it`s not with registry or if it is , it`s
encoded/encrypted ...

regards
