How to add into windows firewall

[ushtabalakh]

Is there anyway to see if windows firewall is activated?
How can we add our own policies to it automaticall.

I think a few programs like dc++ can add themselves to the exceptions of windows firewall automatically.

Info found on MSDN:

This is a Win32 API, so you'd have to write some P/Invoke code to call it.
