I'm forwarding this for a friend who is having trouble with his news reader.

The code below is used to change some settings for IE and seems to work fine
in an application, but not in a service.  I've asked whether the code is run
before/after a logon and asked for the GetLastError() values in order to
track down the problem.  He has indicated the boolean return values are true
(hence has not bothered with GetLastError() in this case).  His service is
performing the task every 10 seconds and has assured me the timer event is
definitely being called.

Can anyone provide any information that will help.

If this is not the best newsgroup, please advise which one to send to.

TIA.


// code below:

OldProxy is in the form "address:port" for example "localhost:8080"


INTERNET_PER_CONN_OPTION_LIST List;
INTERNET_PER_CONN_OPTION Option[2];

unsigned long nSize = sizeof(INTERNET_PER_CONN_OPTION_LIST);

Option[0].dwOption = INTERNET_PER_CONN_PROXY_SERVER;
Option[0].Value.pszValue = OldProxy.c_str();
Option[1].dwOption = INTERNET_PER_CONN_FLAGS;
Option[1].Value.dwValue = PROXY_TYPE_PROXY;

List.dwSize = sizeof(INTERNET_PER_CONN_OPTION_LIST);
List.pszConnection = NULL;
List.dwOptionCount = 2;
List.dwOptionError = 0;
List.pOptions = Option;

InternetSetOption(NULL, INTERNET_OPTION_PER_CONNECTION_OPTION,&List, nSize);

InternetSetOption(NULL, INTERNET_OPTION_SETTINGS_CHANGED, NULL,NULL);

InternetSetOption(NULL, INTERNET_OPTION_REFRESH, NULL,NULL);
