Default Private Firewall - how to save config settings?

Can anyone provide how to save Private Firewall v.7 configuration settings?
xp pro sp3

.... such that all the entries & their levels of config can be restored
or implemented on another machine?

I saved both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PWI, Inc.

and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PWI, Inc.

but after importing these into the registry of another machine -
(cloned system but different hardware, if that matters)

I rebooted, but still had to make all my entries.

So what's the magic file/reg entry that duplicates everything in 1 click?

Thanks for any helps `

Rt Click Cop Icon in System Tray
Lt Click Main Menu on Cop's pop-up menu (this gets you PFW's GUI)
Lt Click "File" in upper left corner of GUI
Lt Click "Export Setting" on "File"'s drop-down menu
Poof! - it's done

updated - just for cleanliness sakes, I reimaged, then reinstalled PFw,
then clicked the File > Import Settings, and immediate Happiness

so far, this lean/mean fw really pleases me -
upon install I followed bellgamin's approach -


Settings > Basic tab ...... checked "Manual Control" & "Disable Auto Response"

Advanced tab ..... checked "Enable Process Detection", unchecked "Enable Training"

set Process Monitor slider to Off, because I'll spend time thoroughly investigating those later

then invested maybe 8 minutes to click through all my apps in C:\Program Files, and set the Allow/Deny for internet access -

now, nobody goes out on the wire except who I approve

after that, there's only an occasional popup, very non-intrusive -
simply notice the difference between the 2 main popups -

the brown border is an application wanting to run,
whilst the blue border is an app wanting to connect out on the wire :
