Location of wireless config data

I operate a large network with multiple access points all on the same
network. I am looking at creating a script that will copy wireless
configuration settings to users when I make changes to the access points. I
can't seem to find the location of these configuration files.

I know in XP home edition, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to
automatically copy these files to and from a flash drive, but am wondering
where this data is stored on XP Pro systems.

Even to deploy these settings using a group policy or something would be
useful.
Any help would be great!!

Thanks

The configuration settings aren't in a file; they are in Registry.
Windows XP (Home and Pro) saves the configuration settings in an xml file.

Can you tell me where in the registry I could look for this information?

Thanks

The location is undocumented.

But using regmon (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html) I can
see that the key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfac es\{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}\Static#0000
is changed every time I change the SSID or WEP Key.

The SSID is shown in clear.
