Proxy Setting of Web Browsers

Keywords: 	 Proxy Setting Web Browsers 

Question:

Is there a way to manipulate the browser settings (i.e. such as turn proxy option ON/OFF) on the fly using WinBatch? Is there any WIL Extender that I can use to do this automation?

Answer:

In Netscape or IE or ???

If Netscape, use the searcher extender and search the hard drive for all cases of prefs.js. Its the java script file that contains most of the user settings for Netscape. The following lines setup and turn on manual proxy configuration in Netscape.

user_pref("network.proxy.ftp", "PROXY");
user_pref("network.proxy.http", "PROXY");
user_pref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "Put,exclusions,here");
user_pref("network.proxy.ssl", "PROXY");
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);
If its IE, its in the registry, but I have never looked for/had to do it.
