  1. Right-click on the desktop or elsewhere, and choose New \ Shortcut from the menu. Then in the shortcut location box, you'll add one of two commands listed below.

    Disable Firewall

  2. netsh firewall set opmode disable

    Enable Firewall

  3. netsh firewall set opmode enable

  4. Once you've added the correct command, go to the next screen and give the shortcut a helpful name like "Disable Firewall"

  5. At this point you should have a shortcut icon, but it won't work yet without choosing to run as administrator.

  6. Right-click the shortcut and choose Properties, and then choose the shortcut tab.

  7. In this screen you can assign a shortcut key for this shortcut by adding it into the Shortcut key box. The most important step is to click the Advanced button, so we can choose "Run as administrator" to always run the shortcut in administrator mode.
