set_firewall.cmd wrote: netsh.exe add allowedprogram PROGRAM="%programfiles%\winamp\Winamp.exe" NAME=Winamp.exe MODE=ENABLE SCOPE=ALL PROFILE=ALL

This is working in windows 7?

Netsh.exe do not knows "allowedprogram" switch into windows XP.
Still not installed windows 7 to test myself.

Seems that this is the corect way into Win 7

add firewall exception wrote:netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Winamp.exe" dir=in action=allow program="%programfiles%\winamp\Winamp.exe" enable=yes profile=any

remove firewall exception wrote:netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="Winamp.exe"

Now that is useful. I did not know you could add exceptions from the command line for the firewall. Thank you for the information.
