Solution 1

It's a breach mechanism on others system. Based on what you are trying to do, disabling a firewall on some click just sounds like a step towards a trojan/virus entry.

Wrong forum and wrong people you are asking this. We do not support or encourage anyone in creating virus kind of activity.

wow paranoid much ??? well this is not for another system ... this is for my own computer .... if you have a problem with this .. than i guess you have problem with my university lecturer who gave out this question!!

Haha.

Sure, looks like I do have problem with your university lecturer. :)
Did you asked him why such a thing he is after? ;)

BTW, I hope he was not teaching 'How to hack into systems?'

no he is teaching a unit called system software which is about operating systems ..... it contains things like threads, memory management...

So things like features of OS were being taught when Active x objects were introduced ... so we were taught scripts ... so the orignal questions was

System Software also encompasses programming techniques that can be used to investigate and modify the configuration of system components. In this section of the assignment, you are required to write a program that lists the network connections available on a Windows operating system of your choice.

which i completed, then the bonus task or follow up question was

Modify your HTML Application so that it turns the Windows Firewall on or off.

Sorry about the detail ... but yea my lecturer is not teaching 'How to hack into systems'.

Doesn't matter whose system it's for, it would be a serious security breach if the browser allowed it.
