Thanks everybody for your responses.

What has worked for us thanks to Ian's ideas, is the use of a logoff
script file which changes the "ProxyEnable" entry to "0" in the
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" key.
For those interested we basically grabbed the reg file and added it to a
.bat file using the /s switch to make it silently install.  We found if
you didn't use the /s switch the Microsoft Firewall and operating system
will prompt you to run the reg file.

Example .bat code.

regedit.exe /s proxy_disable.reg


Also for those interested the use of a Local Policy did not have any
effect as the Group Policy still overrode it even though the laptop was
not on the network.


Once again thank you for the help,

Glad to see it worked out ... thanks for getting back with your findings, Grant ...
