    Internet Explorer Settings

    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 !

    there is another key you might need to check :

    Code:
    HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
    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 .
