well, you could do, but you need to work out 1. how to set up the options for every app you start on the command line 2. how to set up the options for every JAR file you run by double clicking. It can be done via our friend the registry in windows, but it isnt easy. Even then, it doesnt address the variability of laptop networking. In my past research, I had a lot of data on how laptops got used, and primarily it was networking, not power that mattered: http://iseran.com/Steve/notebook_slides.pdf http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2000/HPL-2000-21.html So I went on to do a util that looked at system context and changed things, network, power, screen saver, etc. depending upon what it thought was happening http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2001/HPL-2001-158.html dynamic adaption of IE proxy settings work, though only through IE restarts. I think if I'd do it again, I'd route everything through a localhost proxy which relayed stuff as approprite. -steve
