How can I switch my proxy address from a list?

[computergroove]

I read around the forum for a bit and saw that Autoit can turn on and turn off proxy usage in the windows registry. I was wondering if there was a way to change the proxy of the computer from a database (ini file), I can get a list of working proxies and I want to change to different proxies at different times or on the fly from my ini file. Any help is appreciated.

The code you have been trying would be a help to any one who might potentially

help you.

OK. Biggest question here is if I change the registry settings on the fly, do I need to do anything to make the changes take effect? If I change the settings with the RegWrite function do I need to restart IE or Firefox?

;write IE reg keys for home/external usage DISABLE Proxy
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "ProxyEnable", "REG_DWORD", "0")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "ProxyEnable", "REG_DWORD", "0")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "AutoConfigProxy", "REG_SZ", "")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "AutoConfigURL", "REG_SZ", "")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "ProxyServer", "REG_SZ", "")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "ProxyOverride", "REG_SZ", "")
MsgBox(64, "Internet Explorer", "Your IP address is " & $ip & @CR & @CR & "Proxy Server Disabled", 3)
Else
;write IE reg keys for School/internal usage ENABLE Proxy
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "ProxyEnable", "REG_DWORD", "1")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "ProxyEnable", "REG_DWORD", "1")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "AutoConfigProxy", "REG_SZ", "")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "AutoConfigURL", "REG_SZ", "")
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "ProxyServer", "REG_SZ", $PXYSVR & ":" & $PXYPRT)
RegWrite("HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings", "ProxyOverride", "REG_SZ", $EXC)

It looks like I need to shut down all instances of IE and then change the settings and then restart IE. Then the settings will take effect.
