Something like that - you can (perhaps) define the proxy configuration  
in every application. But sometimes it's more easy for you when the  
application finds the configuration in HKLM.

May be - I've just tried this command under W2k, and W2k didn't  
recognize it too.


Searching for "proxycfg" lead to

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900935/de

and the information (in german)

  "Für Windows Vista und neuere Windows-Versionen ist das Tool  
"Netsh.exe" statt "proxycfg.exe" verfügbar."
