    This doesn’t work. I have tried it in the past and I tried it just now on Windows 7. It is part of what you need, but the part that makes them work (show up in the routing table) is:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nsi
    You need to export this key from the source computer as well.

    Thanks

    Thanks.
