[SOLVED] Batch change IE settings

makader · makader's Computer Specs

Hi,
Using batch it is really easy to change IE PROXY settings frequently whenever required.
However I created a batch named PROXY Customization to resolve the issue.Please visit the link to download the product http://techsolutionpoint.blogspot.co...-automate.html.
You will only required to change change the PROXY address & port. (It is tested in WINXPSP2 - if the batch not work in w7 then change the registry path).
You may also download it from http://www.techtopeace.com/2011/09/b...-ie-proxy.html.
It is free.

Um... Thanks?

I'm not too sure about needing changes to the registry though... I think I'll be analysing te files before running any of them.

FC, apparently the proxy settings are stored in the registry under the IE software key (which makes sense) And then they have two Visual Basic scripts (VBS) to turn proxy on or off. I haven't looked at the VB scripts but the photo of the reg settings seems legit.

By all means do look it over but I do believe it will do exactly what you asked for.

I've looked at the source. Looks safe

Sorry, I kinda get suspicious with posts like that... It sometimes seems too good to be true!

I just have a question; what am I supposed to change in the .reg file? What's the ServerMask?

I see no reference to ServerMask? It needs you to set the proxy server IP & port - that's all I really see. Basically it is storing two settings to the registry that it can use to supply as parameters: one the proxy IP : Port and the other the setting with no proxy server in place.

Oh right. Sorry - I meant ServerOverride.

PFFT - I have been doing too much networking lately.

I have created a simple batch file that will switch between whatever you set as a proxy server and turn on "Use a proxy server" in IE settings, and no server and turn off "Use a proxy server" in IE settings. I saw that you did not want to mess with your registry, however, this is the only way to set these settings from a batch file.

Code:

Code:

 
@echo off
REM Input your desired proxy server after "set proxy=".
set proxy=127.0.0.1:123
if '%proxy%'=='' (
goto USAGE
)
echo.
for /F "eol= tokens=1* " %%a in ('REG Query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v proxyserver /t REG_SZ 2^>nul ^| find "REG_SZ"') do set str=%%b
set str=%str:~10,20%
if '%str%'=='' (
set str=Not assigned
)
echo Current proxy server: %str%
echo.
if "%str%"=="%proxy%" (
goto off
) else (
goto on
)

:ON
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v proxyserver /t REG_SZ /d "%proxy%" /f >nul
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v proxyenable /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul
for /F "eol= tokens=1* " %%a in ('REG Query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v proxyserver /t REG_SZ 2^>nul ^| find "REG_SZ"') do set str=%%b
set str=%str:~10,20%
if '%str%'=='' (
set str=Not assigned
)
echo New proxy server: %str%
echo.
pause
goto end

:OFF
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v proxyserver /t REG_SZ /d "" /f >nul
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v proxyenable /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul
for /F "eol= tokens=1* " %%a in ('REG Query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v proxyserver /t REG_SZ 2^>nul ^| find "REG_SZ"') do set str=%%b
set str=%str:~10,20%
if '%str%'=='' (
set str=Not assigned
)
echo New proxy server: %str%
echo.
pause
GOTO END
 
:USAGE
echo.
echo Please input a proxy server to configure.
echo.
pause
goto end
 
:END
exit
