How can I put the Windows XP firewall in a port configuration 'allow all' and only block some ports?

Without going into the details of why I need to do this, I'm putting the firewall of Windows XP in one allow all the configuration of ports and only refuse some ports I have in a list.

I train this script via the command-line batch with the netsh firewall add portopening command.  From what I've read, if enabled the firewall denies all traffic and only allows ports with exceptions, so through batch scripts, I opened all the 65 000 + ports TCP and UDP, essentially with the firewall turned on but in a configuration of "allow all the»  I don't deny the 100 or so ports to my list that I want blocked after they are all open.

This strategy seems to work, but the problem I waited and I now see is that svchost.exe takes 50% of my CPU time, have to deal with constantly these firewall rules.

"From what I've seen on Windows XP, there is no way to have the firewall ON, and in a configuration of" allow all the "" because the XP firewall may not have defined port ranges, they must be defined one by one.  It looks like Windows Vista or 7 would be much easier because the firewall has got a re vamp of advanced features.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to realize this "allow all", deny some' strategy?  I know it's a strange use of the Windows Firewall, so let's please jump in front of a 'why would you do this incredibly stupid thing?"messages.

Also, if it was the wrong forum (or website) to post on for this kind of question, I'd appreciate a recommendation of a more appropriate forum.

    You can also move the lower position with code tab toolbar in userChrome.css that basically, you just give a higher value to the tab bar of -moz-box-ordinal-group (more toolbars have a default value for - moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 to show them in the order of DOM).

  • How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

    How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
    Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

    How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

    Any correction, automated for this?

    Thank you.

    It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

    Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

    Original title: calendar

    How can I get the details on my agenda which is on my iPhone and iPad in the calendar on the windows start page?

    It depends on where your calendar is really stored.  He usually stored in your e-mail account and connected to it.  That's how Google Calendar, Gmail or Microsoft Calendar + Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail) function as business/school Exchange email accounts work.

    So long story short, as long as your phone and your calendar app are both set to synchronize with the same server (so the same email account), then they will show the same calendar as events.

    If your calendar is not stored in a service that can interface with your phone and the calendar app, you will need to choose a new calendar service.  For example if you use only iCloud, you should know that Apple does not your calendar to display the application calendar.  Google blocks of even Windows users have the full calendar function.

    So if you need it, my choice is Outlook.com (or an Exchange of Business/School/University account).  If you go with Outlook.com, you can use it to store your calendar and keep your iPhone calendar in perfect sync and there is no need to change your email address or anything deep like that.  In fact, you can connect to Outlook using the same account that you used to ask this question.
