Vista - Disable Proxy Settings

**egydarceyes** · 05-19-2009

Hello,

I've tried searching for a way to disable proxy settings all together from internet explorer and I'm not able to find a solution.
Is there a way to do it through registry in a way where the user isn't able to even select the "check box" anymore?

I know the old way of unchecking the box, but the user will always go back and check it and type in the proxy server and port. Is there a way to disable it completely?

How to disable automatic proxy caching in Internet Explorer

Quote:

You can disable the Automatic Proxy Result Cache by using the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

Value: EnableAutoproxyResultCache
Type: REG_DWORD
Data value: 0 = disable caching; 1 (or key not present) = enable automatic proxy caching (this is the default behavior)
If the registry key is not present, you can create the registry key by using the following registry file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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