How can i restore the default firewall settings in Windows 7

[Mr.ken]

I am using Windows 7 since long time. In this duration i had made lot of changes in the firewall block or allow the informations coming from the network or from internet. But now i do not need these settings anymore. So i want to restore the firewall to its default settings.. But doing it one by one is going very confusing for me. Is there any simple way i can do the same ?

Yeah, you can restore the Firewall to the defaults in just few simple steps. Just go through this:-

• Open the Control Panel in All Items View from the Start menu.
  
  
• When the Control Panel window opens up, then click the System and Security link from this window.
  
  
• Open Windows Firewall in
  
  
• Click on the Restore defaults link in the left blue pane.
  
  
• Click the Restore defaults button.
  
  
• Click on the Yes button to confirm
  
  
• Once done. Close the firewall windows and you are done.

Thats it !!!
