It works perfectly, both from home and from the office. Thanks.
BTW - The reason this is such a big deal for me right now is that there's a bug with our VPN software, under Win7, when connected to the client's network. The proxy server has to be selected for the software to establish connection back to my company's network, but after the VPN makes a connection, it dies in about a half a minute. Someone here figured out (how, I have no idea) that if the proxy is selected when you launch the VPN software, but then you deselect it after the connection is established but before it is dropped, then re-select it after a minute or so and the VPN tunnel is stable, it works. Needless to say, being able to click an icon in the system tray is much less of a hassle.)
Again, thanks. You are going to be several people's hero.
