Jake, great idea although unfortunately finding/replacing the GUIDs in the exported .reg file didn't import the preferred networks (even after rebooting).
Perhaps the preferred networks settings are stored somewhere else in the registry, I only surmised it was under WZCSVC because it seemed like the obvious location to store this information. Anyway, the user is (thankfully for me) comfortable redoing the settings when they take the laptop home tomorrow. It's just frustrating that a simple procedure (using netsh) exists in Vista but not XP!!! The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard didn't migrate the wireless settings.
