Controlling Windows 7 firewall through GPO
Can anyone please explain me why I have 2 "File and Printer Sharing" sections in windows 7 firewall? All firewall config should be done through GPO so why the extra? Thanks for your help Uploaded with ImageShack.us

The default setting for Windows Firewall says that it will merge the settings from Group Policy with the locally assigned settings. So what you see is the Group Policy settings and the locally defined settings. You can change this behavior for each profile in the Properties dialog for Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
