No, ICF's settings are not in the registry.

Out of curiosity, why would you want to do this?

ICF settings in XPSP1 are in the WMI store, but you have a couple of
options.

1. If you are in an AD environment, you can use Group Policy to enable and
configure the firewall
2. You could write a VB script to use the INetSharing API (documented on
MSDN) to enable the firewall on each of these machines, however, this has to
be run in the context of an administrator since regular users are not able
to enable ICF.
3. Run a simpler logon script as domain admin that will start the firewall
service (net start sharedaccess)

Is there any adm file available to configure ICF through group policies
If the configuration is available by default, what is the tree to reach these configurations

Thank you

Currently the only gp option is to force it off. ICF is getting a lot of
changes in SP2 so keep an eye out for that.
