Hey there!

I'm student of Computer Sciences at university level and its quite painful to set proxy in web browsers we want to use and different applications like Internet Download Manager as university uses proxy server. I was thinking of developing a small utility which sets proxy in different applications and remove it from them. The first a straight forward question, is it even possible? And if it is, please give me a hint how to do this. I can help thousand of students in my campus with this utility. Please try your best to help me with this. Thanks in advance :-)
