What file are they stored in? Click to expand... They are windows firewall rules. You need to export them from windows firewall or from within WFC. You can't copy something and paste it.

Windows firewall rules are located in the registry and not a file within the file system. Export WFC rules. They are saved as a .wfw file. You cannot mount a backup image and explore it to locate the firewall rules; you have to export and save the WFC rules before creating the image.
