Hi,

I work in a small office and seem to constantly be re-installing XP for
various coworkers. I would like to have a baseline security script that
would do such things as turn on the ICF (XP's built-in firewall),
disable the Telnet service, and change a few settings in the Control
Panel. I have no problem with the basics of programming (loops etc.),
but I know nothing about the Windows object model. Do the things I want
to do involve writing to the Registry?

If anyone could give me any tips (as to turning on the ICF and disabling
the Telnet, Remote Registry, and File and Print Sharing services in
particular), I would appreciate it very much.

Best,

Jamie
