Why?
A batch file won't work but a exe (run as admin) should work...

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="network discovery" new enable=no

= You made a typo or didn't run as admin... could also mean your system has non-default Windows build, like a beta test copy but I assume wx pro or home.

Hmm? Why would you think a batch file wouldn't work? All he needs to do is right click on the *.bat file and choose to Run as Administrator. This allows the batch script to run within an elevated command prompt which is no different than typing the command into an Administrator command prompt.
