To use Live Messenger in the office, I always need to firstly disable my proxy settings, after Live Messenger launched, I need turn it back. Thus everytime I need to change that from "Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan Settings ->", check/uncheck the checkboxes, well, this task I need to do at least one time a day, I as a developer should achieve this in a more efficient and convenient way.
By overcoming one problem I wrote a snippet of Powershell cmdlet which does the job perfectly, the steps are:
Update proxy settings to "Automatically detect settings".
Launch Live Messenger.
Update proxy settings to use proxy.
The "one problem" I encountered and mentioned above is:
Where are the registry key(s) to store "Automatical configuration" section in Lan Settings.
I firstly tried to use Process Monitor by applying filter to only monitor my IE's process PID, while I did see it updated a number of places (see result outputed by procmon below), some of them are easy to be recognized such as "ProxyEnable", "ProxyOverride", etc, while I didn't see a obvious palce to store "Automatically detect settings".
From the most recent MacVim release note:

The Vim project has transitioned to new maintainers, and MacVim will continue to be supported as long as Vim is around.
I decided to use Vim as my all time text editor since 12 years ago, it completely changed my mind and my life, there were some times I felt like my typ...
Life is too short to drive boring cars
I bought a 2015 BMW X5 Dec last year, it has been half a year so far (with 2 months she stayed inside the garage for most of the time due to the pandemic), I am pretty satisfied with it, her condition is absolutely excellent, everything works, yes you see it correctly, after 5 years of its life, there was nothing broken, as BMW vehicle built in recent years, this is something not VERY easy. My plan is to keep it as long as possible before it turns into an endless money pit, and keeping her value as high as possible, one of the major reason I b...
Instead of spending any cent in the money pit casinos, I’d chose to do something more meaningful and exciting :)
