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".
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 :)

WHEN YOU ARE OLD
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
– By William Butler Yeats
