What specific policy are you referring to?

Kelly has a registry tweak for the firewall policy.

Read the instructions at the top.
386. Right hand side
Firewall On - Firewall Off
Click on Firewall On

firewallon.reg is the file that you want.

Enables the XP firewall in this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile
