In my ubuntu vps box all the lines in /etc/gai.conf are commented out. Like this:

#label ::1/128       0
#label ::/0          1
#label 2002::/16     2
#label ::/96         3
#label ::ffff:0:0/96 4
#label fec0::/10     5
#label fc00::/7      6
#label 2001:0::/32   7

Anyway, this looks like the netsh way to do the same in windows.
