Microsoft documenting on IEAK6 is confusing, can anyone who has really done an IEAK6 implementation suggest me in short the steps to configure in IEAK6 to prevent users from changing the proxy settings in IE6.

In our organization we lock the users from changing the proxy or home page on our ghosted images via the registry. Once the desired settings are made you can edit the registry thus:

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel\HomePage
(DWORD=1)

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel\Proxy
(DWORD=1)

You may have to add the keys Internet Explorer and Control Panel (which do have spaces between words, while HomePage has no spaces in the DWORD).

Hope this helps.

Under Control Panel (which should be added as a new Key), the new DWORD -is- "Proxy." Once you have added the Control Panel key, with Control Panel open on the left panel, right click anywhere on the right window and select add new DWORD. When the DWORD, Proxy, is created the default value is 0 (zero). Once it's created, double click on Proxy to change the value to 1. That should do it.
