All,
I have many users who are running IE 6 SP2 and randomly these users' proxy
settings are changed back to a version they had before we fixed it for them.
We are wondering if an update to IE 6 is being downloaded and possibly
reverting the configuration of that person's IE back to the version they had
before. Are the configuration settings like Advanced Proxy settings saved in
a config file other than the registry? Would loading a new verison of
another Microsoft product such as Outlook or Office cause the settings to
revert back to an old version?
Has anyone else seen this issue?

Thanks,
Dana Tate

Group policy?

The reason I don't think it is a group policy is that it worked for over
three months in the changed format and was not converted back until we
started pushing the new Office 2007 package to everyone. I have that
question posed to our outsourced LAN team now though.

Thanks, Dana

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).
