There are three registry values for the Security Center that determine whether or not the user receives alerts for a given feature. If a key has a value of 0 or is nonexistent, the notification icon and alert system for that feature are enabled. If a value exists and is not 0, the notification icon and alert system for the feature is disabled.

Poonam <Poonam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
Hi,
I have a site running with applet. From the applet I need to check the
Windows security center configured options. for example whether the
firewall option is off or on in Windows security center and same for
other two options. Also I need to verify whether the windows security
center red alert icon is displaying on system tray od not.

How can I do that?

In nutshell, I need to check whether the windows security center is
running or not and if running which options are configured and also it
has passed all the test i.e there is no alert icon or warning.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Poonam
