I'll keep it as short and sweet as possible. This script makes use of HNetCfg.FwMgr to turn your firewall on or off, by using "/firewall on" or "/firewall off" respectively.

Usage: /services Result of use: Opens window @services if not already open. (If the window was previously opened, it clears the buffer) Then the script proceeds to list all currently running services and what the status of those services is.

Usage: /processes Result of use: If a window of the name @processes is not open, the script opens it and populates it with a list of all currently running processes in your machine. In the event that the window is already open, it will clear its buffer and again, populate the window with a list of all currently running processes.
