I use a proxy server on my work so I have to configure MSN Messenger 6.1 to use a proxy server. (Tools – Options – Connection – HTTP-Proxy)
BUT when I’m @ home I don’t use a proxy. So I have to switch this off in Messenger.And… I’m a bit lazy 😮 so I was dreaming there was a tool or a regedit file which could do this for me.
Is there someone who can make my dream come true? Is there a way to turn the proxy in MSN Messenger 6.1 on/off in one click?
If you use Internet Explorer also, at work and at home, then simply turn the proxy in MSN Messenger off. MSN Messenger should then migrate the settings from Internet Explorer. This way you only have to enable/disable the proxy in Internet Explorer.
Other than that, no, there is no ready-to-go solution to enable/disable the proxy in MSN Messenger with one click.
You’re right, BUT the proxy server @ the office require a user name/password. So if I want to use the internet, I have to enter my user name/password in a IE pop-up.
The same user name/password I have to enter in my HTTP-Proxy settings in Messenger to let Messenger connect. If I don’t enter these settings, it won’t work. Probably because I can’t use the proxy/internet without my user name/password.So I still have the same problem. I guess if DJHyperbyte said there isn’t a solution, there isn’t any. But maybe, maybe, some day… there is someone who can help me.
😉 … and the woman said “I can help”
A hard way to do this is with a register hack.
First config all settings for the use of the proxy server in MSN Messenger, then make a reg dump
Start – Run – Regedit
Goto: [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftMSNMessenger]
Selecter the folder “MSNMessenger” in the (left) tree
In the menu: Registry – Export Registry file…
Save it someone on your disk/desktop and call it “Proxy ON.reg”Then config all settings for the use without the proxy server in MSN Messenger, then make a reg dump
Start – Run – Regedit
Goto: [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftMSNMessenger]
Selecter the folder “MSNMessenger” in the (left) tree
In the menu: Registry – Export Registry file…
Save it someone on your disk/desktop and call it “Proxy OFF.reg”AFTER this you can use the files Proxy ON and Proxy OFF to switch. IT’s A way but it’s kind of tricky :p
