Re: XP Security Centre

Twanny,

Did you use Tweak UI and hide the firewall.cpl entry from Control Panel? If that's the case, the Windows Firewall would be missing from Control Panel _AND_ in the Security Center UI. If that's the case, you need to undo what you did using Tweak UI. If that does not help, see here for another possibility.

Restore missing icons to the Windows Security Center:

"Once upon a time . . . when Windows Secuirty Centre opened, there used to be
3 icons (right under Manage Security Settings for: Internet Options,
Automatic Updates & Windows Firewall).
Now the Brickwall Icon for the Firewall is missing, although at the top the
Icon is visible and the setting is "ON". I hate it when something does not
work as it should.
Anyone encountered a similar event?
