Very Simple & Effective Proxy on/off Toggle Switch

Language:  VBScript

Compatibility

Windows XP Yes Windows 2003 Yes
Windows 2000 Yes Windows NT Yes
Vista Yes Windows 2008 Yes
Description

The script will Toggle your Proxy on/off status. Simple as that. Perfect for users of Corporate Laptops which need the proxy on for work, and off for Public or Home LAN or WiFi Networks. Reduces the usual 7 clicks thorugh IE Settting to 1 click. Brings up a popup to tell you the status which disappears after 1 second. Change the timeout as you see fit. I've seen too many complicated Apps for configuration of Proxys, but all I wanted was a one click on/off toggle solution and this is what I've done. Hope you like it.
