IE settings have their own place in IE.
You can force proxy settings as well as "lock down" the user's ability
to change them.  "GPO is not for..."  Hell, Firefox now has an AND
script for it.

ISA 2000 FWC makes a *one-time* change that is easily reversed by the
least savvy user.
ISA 2004 FWC *can* be instructed to reapply the settings, but it has to
be done *by the user*.

Consequently, the real answer is to use GPO to force the IE
configuration and make it unavailable to the user.
BTW, did you know that IE stores its configuration in no less than three
places:
- per-user (HKCU)
- all users (HKU)
- machine (HKLM)

http://isatools.org/ie_proxy.vbs shows you how to set the machine-level
proxy settings in the registry.  This script also prevents the user
changes from having any effect on IE behavior.
If you don't have / use GPO, you can add this to the machine logon
script.

..now quitcherbitchin and get back to work.

...jeez...

GPO is not for pushing down the IE proxy setting, it is for lock the
setting
tab at user's IE, then FCW with webproxy setting is fixed and
unchangable
at user's side!

        Could you please explain this a bit more?  I fail to see how it
would make a difference whether the proxy settings were pushed out via
FWC or GPO.  Either way, you have the proxy settings in IE, and they can
disable them.

        To make a consistant filter to user's web access, only GPO is
effective because

        user under FWC only can disable web proxy server for a while
until FWC

        is refreshed! If some bad boy would like to see a prohibited
site, they can

        uncheck webproxy tab!
