How to back up privacy settings?

[John Smith]

Hi -

Could a kind soul please tell me how I can back up my IE privacy settings?

In the Per-Site Privacy Actions window I have specified a number of cookie
along with where I want them blocked or allowed. I can't seem to find the
file that stores this configuration, however.

Thanks!

John,
Those are stored in the Registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\P3P\History]

You can highlight the "History" key, then Export the contained entries.
Click Registry (up top) select: Export, and enter a filename.
By default this saves a [example] "PrivacyHistory.reg" file in My Documents.
