Title: How do I do stuff
Post by: Jack- on July 05, 2007, 10:02:49 AM
Hey guys,

I'm looking to make a little program which has two options one to enter an automatic proxy configuration script address into Internet explorer and or Firefox's options the other option is to just set those options back to default.

Should I just find and edit some file or registry entry's or whats the best way of doing this ? and if so how do I make masm do a registry change.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Jack

Jack,

Assembler is not a language you learn in a few minutes to do predefined tasks. Find out if you can do what you need in either browser with their own settings as what youy are after is not easy to program.

ah ok ! I want to learn masm but I just don't know where to start so I figured I'd try do something thats useful to me. I get visitors and new arrivals looking for proxy settings all the time, even though I've a really good guide done for it already it would be nice to just give them an .exe to click.

For internet explorer I found a reg key called AutoConfigURL and I just need to change its value if its too difficult to edit this key I'll just use vbscript or autoit.

I'll just keep following these examples I have.
