Firewall settings

Fei
Hi,

I try to do followings in VB.net
1. Detect whether Windows firewall is enabled or not.
2 If firewall is enabled, detect whether an application is in authoried list
or not. If not, I need to add it to the authorized apps list.

But it seems to me that above is totally impossible. Am I right? Any
suggestions? Please help.

THanks in advance

if it was, then that would be a very big breach of security wouldnt it? why
not just programatically "talk" the user through adding the program to the
firewall's allowed list? programmatically changing settings like that (if
possible) prob isnt a good idea
