 If you're using Privoxy, it has such a function build in already. Just 
 go to the special 'website' p.p which will be intercepted by privoxy and 
 you can click on 'Toggle Privoxy on or off'. There you can switch it off 
 and it also offers bookmarklets, which you can add as buttons
 (bookmarks) to your IE. Easy as that.

I don't think Privoxy's toggle option does what you think it does.

However not all is lost: using Privoxy 3.0.7 beta or later
you can combine the user-agent client-header tagger,
the forward-override action and a browser-plugin that changes
the User-Agent header to build your own Tor toggle.

For details see:
http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.7/user-manual/actions-file.html#CLIENT-HEADER-TAGGER
and:
http://www.privoxy.org/3.0.7/user-manual/actions-file.html#FORWARD-OVERRIDE

Be sure to read the warning before doing it, though.

Note that nowadays the Torbutton extension is also supposed
to protect you against some JavaScript-based attacks.
Privoxy doesn't do that.

AFAIK, folks will want the development-branch of Torbutton if they want
the shiny JavaScript-hooking and other nice privacy-enhancing features.
I don't think the stable-branch has it yet.

Is there something similar like Torbutton FF plugin for the Internet Explorer 
?

Or do I really have to change manually proxy settings each time I want to 
switch from Tor enabled to Tor disabled mode?

A quick check on Google revealed:

http://swodum.com/

Not sure if any of those are any good though.

If you test it, give us feedback :)

If you're using tor for privacy and anonymity it's highly reccommended that
you don't use internet explorer.

I have to agree with Ringo on this one.
I have two zero-days for Internet Explorer that can reveal your true IP, so
be safe and don't use it.
