can I reset the windows 7 public firewall profile defaults?

Question

suppose I change something in the public firewall profile. (whether in the "windows firewall with advanced security screen" or in the "allow programs to communicate through windows firewall" screen

if so, how?

Also I noticed that file and printer sharing is enabled.. that seems a little strange to me, as public profile is meant to be restrictive for a public place like an internet cafe. Though I think enabled is the default. (added- it's not default)

In the Actions pane there is a Restore Default Policy link that should do the trick.
