Firewall "File and Printer Sharing" exception keeps getting re-ena

I have a Vista machine that every time I reboot, the "File and Printer
Sharing" exception in the firewall is checked. I go and un-check it, and
apply. Then the next time I reboot, it is checked again.

Is there a way that I can prevent this from being checked (ie via policy
somehow just disable that exception?)

Thanks,

-Reiner
