Configuring Windows XP firewall

Added how to add ports and programs to the firewall exception list
It is enough to execute it only once, as it will survive the reboot, so you may use execute="once".
 
 
To add ports to the exception list:
netsh firewall add portopening [protocol] [port number] [rule name]
[protocol] can be TCP or UDP (remove the brackets when you insert your values).
 
 
To add a program to the exception list:
add allowedprogram program = [path] name = [name] mode = [ENABLE|DISABLE] scope = [ALL|SUBNET|CUSTOM] addresses = [addresses] profile = [CURRENT|DOMAIN|STANDARD|ALL]
