Add Firewall exceptions to WES7 answer file

Hi Folks

When building a Windows Embedded Standard 7 image you can configure the Firewall rules in order to be able to enable the Remote Desktop. The following article explain the steps to follow in Image Configuration Editor (ICE) : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff794875(v=winembedded.60).aspx

The configuration of the Firewall require the identification of the functionality Identifier that is located in the FirewallAPI DLL. This identification can't be found on the internet, and some actions on your side must be performed in order to configure the Firewall to match your requirements. The identifier that should be use, is the resource identified in the library, and you can use Resource Hacker application  (http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/) on the  FirewallAPI.dll.mui file.

Example of IDs :
@FirewallAPI.dll,-28502 (File/Print Sharing)
@FirewallAPI.dll,-28752 (Remote Desktop)
