DONE: Proxy ON/OFF
« on: September 26, 2006, 10:11 AM »
I am looking for an app that I can just click and it will enable or disable proxy server in IE for when I am at work vs. when I am at home.  I would prefer it to be an icon in the Quick Launch area rather than using resources as an icon in the task bar if at all possible.

Thanks,
Bobby

If you find a good solution and become attached to it, the solution may become your next problem.

Those are good - thanks!  I am was looking for something that doesn't use many if any resources until you click it - then it makes the change - then goes back to sleep.  I really like a lean running system - I am kinda old school when it comes to that - from the days when computers only had a meg or two of memory.  My new laptop has a full gig - so I think I can live with giving up 1 MB for this app.

For any other folks that are goobers like me - the second app (Proxy Switcher Lite) only uses about a meg and the other one uses around three.

Thanks again kimmchii...
