At work I set a proxy server using a .reg file. I sometimes forget to remove
the proxy server settings before giving the computer back to the customer.
Is there any "easy" way to delete the proxy server settings automatically?

I've been fussing around with a batch file for this, but I get errors when
trying to turn the proxy on. I'd really like a .reg file that will:
1) Turn the proxy on, and
2) Remove the proxy on the next reboot.

Here's the .reg files that I'm using:
------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet
Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyServer"="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080"

------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet
Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:0000000
"ProxyServer"=""
------------------------------------------

You could use your "proxy_enable.reg" file to load the "run once" key here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce
with something like "regedit /s proxy_disable.reg" (I hope that makes sense)

I'm trying to write a batch file to:
1) Turn the proxy on with a .reg file
2) Add the proxy off to the RunOnce key.

I keep getting errors when trying to run the batch file. It won't run the
ProxyOn.reg file (which runs fine when it's double clicked on). I was
browsing around and found a difference in how the backslash keys were used in
the .reg file (some are double backslashes rather than single backslashes).

Any ideas on how to fix that?

Thanks for the help!

I've been on vacation did you get this sorted out yet?
