Our Registry path is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List and there you can create string value Value name Value C:\chat.exe ........ C:\chat.exe:*:Enabled:chat
Being able to create that value means that you have admin privileges on that box, thus you can do whatever you want anyway (including completely shutting down the Windows-Firewall). So this is by no means a trick or flaw, but simply expected behaviour.
