Hi regmigrant,<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot, this is already a huge help as it is just a click away from the Connections TAB and one more click on the LAN Settings button. Much faster than trying to find &quot;Proxy Settings&quot; under Advanced Settings in Chrome or going the whole long route in IE to get there.<br />
<br />
Thanks, I will leave it open for a while longer to see if perhaps there's another trick (adding a switch behind inetcpl.cpl perhaps) that might take it to the Connections TAB which is a bit closer.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
Reinhard.

ok, fastest I could get to it is by creating a shortcut, assigning a key to it, then typing 'l,x, e' when its popped. - you don't need to press alt for the final stages<br />
<br />
so ctrl+alt+s, l, x,e (4 or 6 depending on how you count) - not sure it can be bettered without a key recorder<br />
<br />
EE won't let me attach a .lnk so here's the target line for &nbsp;the shortcut.<br />
<br />
C:\Windows\System32\contro<wbr />l.exe inetcpl.cpl,,4

Thanks a lot to both regmigrant and MASQ,<br />
<br />
Due to helping a lot if users I work on lots of PCs and out of a practicality point of view using key recorders, writing scripts etc. won't really be effective (one won't really save time) and it is also then limited to the PC or PCs where one has done that customization, to me the best and most practical answer here was Win+R inetcpl.cpl as from regmigrant, it brings one to the correct windows and from there it's simply two clicks away from the Proxy Settings (so with Win+R + inetcpt.cpl + &lt;enter&gt; + click + click I am there within 5 seconds). <br />
<br />
Personally I think that's the answer as it works on any PC without having to setup anything first. But it is also good to know of the other options mentioned later in the feedback so that users that want to setup shortcuts or program keys can do so with the other finer detail provided, Thanks a lot guys :)<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
As with everything else on Windows there's usually a shortcut key or (start -&gt; run -&gt; xxxxx) to get to anything in Windows.<br />
<i>(i.e.: Start -&gt; Run -&gt; <b>appwiz.cpl</b> &lt;enter&gt; to get to Add/Remove Programs or pressing Windows + Pause/Break to get to System Properties etc. etc.)</i><br />
<br />
<b>Question:</b> Is there a short/quick way to get to the IE Proxy Settings as per screen shot below on Windows?<br />
<br />

With a lot of people using Chrome it is quite a pain to get to the Proxy Settings within Chrome or to use IE and go Tools, Internet Options, Connections, LAN Settings bla bla bla... to get to the LAN Settings where one changes proxy settings, surely there's a Start -&gt; Run -&gt; xxxx &lt;enter&gt; shortcut for this too? Otherwise, how would Chrome bring up that same IE window when one goes via Chrome to change Proxy settings...?<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot for anyone who has figured this out.<br />

Shortcut key to get to IE Proxy settings

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Internet / Email Software

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
