I am looking for a way to have Internet Explorer to either follow Outlook for its connection, or a way to edit the proxy settings in the registry. Ultimate goal is to have an end user connect to our servers using a proxy setting and not at home using their broadband connection. Any ideas?

I use a product called NetSwitcher for this and is is worth more than the 14 dollars per they ask on any computer that you connect in more than one location. I Connect at 3 to 10 different locations per day and I have saved setups for all of my 22 regular sites including default printer settings, proxy settings, email settings, different networks that use the same internal subnets. Try one copy and you will be sold.
It is also easy to use for non technical users. http://www.netswitcher.com

As a Courtesy to my users I have them get there home connection working and then bring me the laptop where I load Netswitcher and save all of their settings into a profile before connecting to my network and doing my configuration. It saves them them from going through a intimidating (for some) configuration.

I have been searching for a product like this for awhile and this by far is a great find, especially when you have multi configurations like we do. Thanks Chris910!
