Hallo, HillTopsGM,

> (Start of The Windows Commands)
C:\>> proxycfg
> # gives information about the current connection type. Note: 'Direct

C:\>> proxycfg -d
> # Set Direct Connection

C:\>> proxycfg -p wu-proxy.lan:8080
> # Set Proxy to use with Windows Update to wu-proxy.lan, port 8080

c:\>> proxycfg -u
> # Set proxy to Internet Explorer settings.
> (End of The Windows Commands)

If I have understood the system (I'm not sure):

a new system always tells "Direct connection",

        proxycfg -u

copies the HKCU entry to HKLM, and then "proxycfg" tells the entries you
had defined for some special user for all users ("system wide").

Viele Gruesse!
