GLOBAL Proxy Settings

Submitted by Mike1979 on September 18, 2007 - 1:07pm

Hi everyone.
I'm using PortApp on my flash at home and 3 offices. There are different network settings (proxy servers) on each working place.

I'm constantly changing the PROXY servers for all online applications, like Miranda, Thunderbird, FileZilla etc.

It could be great to create an application which could auto-detect proxy settings (from installed IE, for example)and manage many Proxy profiles to choose from and setup the config files for Online applications while choosing one of them, like:

Home
Office1
Office2
Office3

Name it PortGlobeProxy for example Smile

Yeah I am trying to make FM portable but the .freemind folder left behind in the user's Docs and Settings folder is giving me a rash. FMP seems to retain its setting only once, and even at that 1st time the .freemind folder is left behind. The launcher is based off of John's Mines-Perfect Portable launcher.

So please look at the .nsi and help me fix it.

Heres the .nsi:

Is there an NSIS variable that points to the users Docs and Settings directory?

Is there? Because I am making a utility that eradicates private data created by Window$ such as Recent Documents. If there isn't is there a way to use the AppData variable and to go up to the hiearacy to the Docs and Settings directory in order to reach the Recent Documents Directory?
