IE Proxy Not Updating After Registry is Changed..?

[cypher175]

i made a lil script to get a proxy list from a .txt file online, so it changes these 2 registry keys:

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyEnable", "REG_DWORD", "1")
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer", "REG_SZ", $ProxyIP)

after that i have it _IENavigate($IE, "http://ip-address.domaintools.com/") to see what the IP of the proxy that I'm using is..

and after that it changes the proxy IP and revisits that page again.. to see if my IP has changes..

But the IP keeps coming back the same Proxy IP every time, even though the registry says its different and so does the proxy settings in the IE Options..

Does IE have to restart for the new proxy IP to take place or is there something else that im missing here..??

Anybody know why the new proxy IP's aren't updating after the reg keys are changed..??

As far as I know, IE needs to be restarted to re-read the registry keys for this setting.

how come when using $IE = _IECreateEmbedded() inside a GUI it doesn't use the IE Proxy that is set in the IE options..??
