Hello asrawahi,
Look for file with extension .rwz If you have backed up your rules, the rules are located in that file. It is a hidden file, so you have to unhide hidden files. In Windows XP, open Windows Explorer or any folder. Click on Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". If you want to see system files as well, unclick Hide protected operating system files. Click OK.
In Windows Vista, open Windows Explorer or any folder. Click the Layout button (to the left of the Views button). Click Folder Options > View tab. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK
Hope this helps!
