Where does Internet Explorer keep all of its settings and connection info?
I want to write an application that can change the LAN and 12 Dial-up proxies in one go, there are tons of computers on the network and it'll be a pain otherwise.
So any help will be great, looking forward to any response :)
<edit />
Its Windows XP (Pro I believe), so that means Internet Explorer 6. If that info made any difference, I dont know ;)
For XP , it should be this path :
Code:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Yeah, I've been checkin' around the registry but it doesn't seem to keep the connection info in there :(
But come to think of it, its not solely IE's settings, right? So it shouldn't (or probably won't) be in a IE registry folder.
I'm ginna try and dig some more, lemme know if anyone gets anything :)
All those settings are saved in binary format (sort of security issue) but I'm not sure if they are really what you are looking for !
Oh, then I'm in some crap :D Any idea where? I'll have to figure how to at least write them...
there is another key you might need to check :
try also searching in the registry for some values like "your homepage" , "your proxyserver" . This techn might help you identifying some other paths for IE .Code:HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
