Question about this proxycfg.exe in XP: Does this work for all Internet program? I can get it to work with IE (v6-v7) and CDBurnerXP (to download its update for the program), but not Firefox. I read that the program has to know winHTTP. Am I understanding this correctly? If so, then how do I know which programs support that to do proxy?

The command is born from the fact that MS use more than one 'web access' DLL API for their web backend(s) in Windows XP. IE sets the config for one of the DLL, certain apps (WU amongst them) use the other library. The command syncs the settings used by both DLL, nothing more.

So the result is that various MS software are 'fixed' and start working again with a proxy or after a proxy config is changed. But most non-MS software is not affected.
