Change internet proxy acces using .reg file

Since I’m on/off different virtual private networks I need to change my internet proxy server (Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options : Connections : Lan Settings : Proxy Server) every time I switch vpn’s. I don’t have RSI and I like to keep it that way. The .reg file below does the trick. (I needed to change Regedit4 into Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00). Got it from this Microsoft KB article.

setproxy.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings]
"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyHttp1.1"=dword:00000000
"ProxyServer"="<proxyserveruri>:<proxyserverport>"
"ProxyOverride"="*.local;*.localhost;<local>"

Silent load of registry (.reg) file.

To avoid the anoying popups when double clicking a registry file the registry file can be loaded with the regedit utility silently. Syntax is 'regedit /s <registryfile>. 

C:\\bin\\EXE\\vpn>setproxy.cmd
 
C:\\bin\\EXE\\vpn>regedit /s C:\\bin\\EXE\\vpn\\setproxy.reg
 
C:\\bin\\EXE\\vpn>

Make Joomla! multi sites enabled.

Replace $JOOMLA_HOME/configuration.php with the file below and ‘off you go’, the Joomla! codebase can now serve multiple websites.

readme

On my Joomla! development site (my PC) I have created a configuration.php to make my Joomla! codebase multi sites enabled, that is several website aliases (configured in my httpd.conf) point to the same Joomla! directory. (Needless to say, use it at your own risk.)

Of course there are some limitations (implications):

All configured websites share the same $JOOMLA_HOME/administrator/components, $JOOMLA_HOME/components, $JOOMLA_HOME/mambots and $JOOMLA_HOME/modules files thus de-installing a component, module or mambot from one website makes the component unavailable for all websites. The Joomla! installer removes the file from the operating system. But since the ‘de-install’ wasn’t run against the database on another website alias the component (module or mambot) may seemavailable in the administrator panel.

Solution: I keep a keen eye on the components, modules and mambots I install and save (create) SQL files for manual
