That's pretty impressive stuff! Can we provide with a list of software we'd like ... I'm think RealPlayer would be number one - although why the BBC insist on using it I'll never know! thanks alot Stephen, Andrew

Make sure you are set up as an advanced teacher user (you need to save to, and run .exe files from the desktop). download a little package I made up for you here <http://www.sciencepebbles.com/package.zip> Extract the contents to your desktop. The shortcuts on your desktop should work now. PS the audacity program lets you record from a mike or tape and export as mp3 file. This might be handy for any linguist who wishes to distribute mp3 files for students to listen to on their ipod/mp3 device. Have fun.

I even use it on the managed side (interested?) Firefox also has a quick proxy switch that can be downloaded as a plug in. A little P button appears in the corner of firefox which you can press to jump between c2k proxy and no proxy. A word of warning though, do not upgrade to firefox 1.5.x as it requests for the proxy username and password every time a new page loads. I wrote the IE script so that other programs on my computer would not get confused as they look to IE for their proxy settings.

Whereas I use internet explorer at home (set for direct connection to the internet). I'd check out your script with interest all the same. Regards, Brian (Campbell College) stephen sames < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Colleagues, Something which annoys me is the need to play about with Internet explorer settings on the unmanaged side of a laptop (or a non c2k laptop) when I am going from school to home or home t o school. So I wrote a script which switches the proxies in an easier way. Download it here : http://www.sciencepebbles.com/proxyswitch.zip Unzip. Then pop them somewhere like your desktop and just double click when needed. It is set up to switch off the proxy in IE and the other is to switch it on. It was written for proxy.local but can easily be changed for proxy3........ Just open it with notepad and change it. I find it useful, someone else might. Stephen PS Another solution might be to not take my work home with me. I shall maybe try this next month and let you know if it is just as effective. -- The comments above should not be trusted as I believe my computer may have become sentient. ________________________________ Relax.
