Specifies that Windows Firewall blocks all unsolicited incoming messages. This policy tweak overrides all other Windows Firewall policy settiing that allow such messages. If you enable this policy tweak, in the Windows Firewall component of Control Panel, the "Don't allow exceptions" check box is selected and administrators cannot clear it. You should also enable the "Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections" policy tweak; otherwise, administrators who log on locally can work around the "Windows Firewall: Do not allow exceptions" policy tweak by turning off the firewall.
 Operating System Windows 2000 / XP / 2003
