windows 7 - Why do my proxy settings keep changing?


I am running Windows 7 and a few times a day the "Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up of VPN connections)." under "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" checkbox becomes checked seemingly on it's own.

Am I pressing some kind of hidden keyboard shortcut accidentally? What sort of applications might alter this setting and why?


Unfortunately as this is a developer box, there's a lot of stuff that could be interfering, e.g. Visual Studio 2010, Windows Azure SDK and various browsers.


Has anyone else come across this?



Answer



It appears to be being caused by running unit tests in Visual Studio 2010.
