When I login as the local guest account on a Windows 2000
SP4 station, the Internet Explorer proxy server settings
are set to enabled and the name of a proxy server is
configured. I'd like to get rid of this setting, ie
disable the use of the proxy server. I cannot find this
setting anywhere in the registry (default user or local
admin); all the other users are set to not use the proxy
server, except for the guest account which miraclelously
get this setting back from god knows where.

Can anybody help ?
Thanks
Rene
