Vista - Setting Proxy Server based on connected network

I work on my laptop from work and home. At work I am inside the company
intranet and browse internet through a Proxy Server. At home I use my own
cable ISP. Is there a powershell script to do that?

Answering myself (a noob attempt):

if ((Get-ItemProperty -Path
'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' -Name
ProxyEnable | Select-Object ProxyEnable).ProxyEnable -eq 0)
{
Set-ItemProperty -Path
'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' -Name
ProxyEnable -Value 1
Write-Host "Proxy Enabled."
Get-ItemProperty -Path
'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' |
Select-Object ProxyServer
}
else
{
Set-ItemProperty -Path
'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' -Name
ProxyEnable -Value 0
Write-Host "Proxy Disabled."
}
if ((Get-Process -Name *iexplore*) -ne @())
{
Write-Host "Stopping browsers."
Stop-Process -Name iexplore -PassThru
Write-Host "Restarting a browser."
(New-Object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application).Visible = $true
}
Start-Sleep -seconds 2

You might find this a little easier to use:
(get-ItemProperty 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings').ProxyEnable
