Quickest way to toggle between IE proxy on and proxy off

[Over Clocker]

Hi guys,

I need a really quick way to toggle between having the Internet Explorer proxy on and off. Maybe a batch file or vb script. Can anyone help me out?

Cheers,

Mal

The simplest way I could find to do quickly is through 2 registry punches. Use Notepad to create two files:

proxy_on.reg

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001

proxy_off.reg

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000000

Save those to your desktop or quicklaunch bar and just click on the one you need when you need it. Problem is, you have to close your browser session first.


edit: not sure why it looks like "Curre ntVersion" up there. There shouldn't be a gap.
