Export Rules

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out a way to be able to backup the rules in Windows Mail without using a third-party app. In Outlook Express there were identities and you could backup rules by exporting out the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{Identity Number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules\Mail
Obviously Windows Mail is a little bit different. Does anyone know the location where rules are stored in Windows Mail?
Thanks.

Most of the registry settings that were under the Identities keys have moved to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail
So the mail rules would be here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Rules\Mail
There is still an Identities key in use, but since they removed the option for multiple Identities, they stuck all the info under WinMail.
