I want to create a batch file to remove Internet Explorer proxy settings check box. Not to grey it out - but to remove IE from using proxy settings. Anyone got any scripts for me?

Setting proxy settings:

  • .reg file:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyServer"="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx"
"ProxyOverride"="<local>"
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001

  • .vbs file:

    set wshshell = createobject("Wscript.shell")
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyEnable", 1, "REG_DWORD"
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyServer","192.168.001.250:80"
WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyOverride","<local>"
wshshell.popup "Proxy Example set.",3,"Messagebox"

  • but why not use Group Policy?

I can add the use of the proxy server, but in GP how do you remove the use of proxy? – The Woo Sep 9 '09 at 2:35
just unchecked the box "Enable Proxy Settings" in GPO? If that doesn't help, try making the change in the 'User Config>Windows Settings>IE Maintenance>Connection settings. Select 'Import the current connection settings from this machine' Choose LAN Settings and modify them to what you need. I would leave all boxes unchecked. Apply the settings and run a GPupdate /force. Check the logs for any errors and test on a client PC. – brengo Sep 9 '09 at 7:13
