Backing Up Wireless Access Information

I am using Vista Ultimate on my notebook computer and routinely connect to
several different wireless networks throughout the week. I just purchased a
tabletpc, also using Vista Ultimate and would like to know if there is a way
to save all my wireless access codes from my notebook to a thumb-drive and
then import them into my tabletpc. Don't want to have to go find and then
manually input the wireless access codes for each wireless network I connect
to all over again. It's too tedious and I'm too lazy, if I could even find
all the information again.

Any help would be most appreciated.
