It should be in the registry,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

The GUID to look for is probably this: {4026492F-2F69-46B8-B9BF-5654FC07E423}
As seen in this list:
Canonical Names of Control Panel Items (MSDN)

Try to use:

Del_Shorcut.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Remove Windows Firewall shorcut on My Computer

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{4026492F-2F69-46B8-B9BF-5654FC07E423}]

Case anyone wanted to add these here a little tutorial;

1. Type following string in RUN or start menu search box and press Enter:

    %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts


It will open "Network Shortcuts" folder.

2. Now what you have to do is simply create shortcut to the desired folder and paste it in this "Network Shortcuts" folder.

Enjoy.
