The command is born from the fact that MS use more than one 'web access'
DLL API for their web backend(s) in Windows XP. IE sets the config for
one of the DLL, certain apps (WU amongst them) use the other library.
The command syncs the settings used by both DLL, nothing more.

So the result is that various MS software are 'fixed' and start working
again with a proxy or after a proxy config is changed. But most non-MS
software is not affected.
