Gray has already emailed me to advise that this registry setting works (for him), not to sure about this Win9x stuff. Can't figure why it would "change it back".

This key/value pair doesn't normally exist and is a "restriction" - not a "setting". Gray doesn't want to set the proxy - he wants to restrict users from changing it (grey it out).

In order to "change it back" - would Win9x not have to delete (or not save) the key/value pair ?

I took this hack straight out of inetres.adm - the MS policy template for setting IE restrictions.
