In my Windows Firewall, Public connection Allowed programs there are 2 entries for Internet Explorer. One checked Public other (Private) but box on left is not checked. Why are there 2 entries, or any since logically Windows Internet Explorer & Windows Media Player should be considered (like Live Mail which is not listed), as Core Networking, why are they there at all?

Hi TheGonzoisin, In some places, such as office, they may need to highly customize Windows Firewall. Thank you for your understanding.

Found that Remove Tab was able to get rid of 2 Internet Explorer items in Firewall. As a single user doing no sharing, synching with no Office etc. apps., I still have no idea how they got there.
