Ok -- I'm tired of this and need to finally ask for a solution.

Basically, every time I put my X51v into the cradle, my proxy server settings from IE7 on my desktop are transferred/synced to PocketIE on my Axim. This is somewhat annoying since I don't WANT to use the proxy server when I'm using my Axim. It is HIGHLY annoying because there is no good way to turn OFF the proxy server settings from the Axim without modifying the registry!

Note that the ONLY thing I have checked to "sync" with ActiveSync is my Calendar. Nothing else is checked. The fact that MS has decided to sync my desktop's proxy settings to my PDA is not the best decision I've seen lately.

So -- what is the solution to this? I'm looking for one of the following:

1. A way to tell ActiveSync to NOT send my desktop's proxy settings to my Axim ever time I cradle it.

2. A simple app or other configuration location to turn off proxy settings on my Axim when I don't want them without having to do it the way I currently do: which is to go into the registry with PHM RegEdit and remove the proxy settings.

Any help/suggestions? Thanks!
