Internet Explorer Proxy Switcher

Users of the Internet Explorer web browser do not have the same amount of add-ons at their disposal like Firefox users. Some developers try to change this with plugins or programs that they develop for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. One of those software programs is a proxy switcher for Internet Explorer. This is for example useful for users with company netbooks that have to regularly switch proxy servers depending on their location.

Quick Proxy Switcher is a lightweight 60 Kilobyte application for Internet Explorer that makes it easier to change proxy servers in the web browser. The portable application will display its main interface after execution which will display the currently configured proxy server in Internet Explorer or a blank if none is configured.

There are lines for adding and changing the default proxy server and one alternative proxy server in Internet Explorer which can be easily switched by clicking on the set button in the interface. Minimizing the application will add a system tray icon which provides a similar functionality by right-clicking it.

Users can activate the default or alternative proxy server from that menu right away. The program is best used if Internet Explorer is closed as this is usually needed to change settings in the web browser. It does however work fine with the most popular editions of Internet Explorer including Internet Explorer 8. Quick Proxy Switcher requires the Microsoft .net Framework.

Simple Webpage Capture

Simple Webpage Capture is a standalone software program for the Windows operating system that provides its users with the means to take snapshots of the websites that they visit. The program acts independently of existing web browsers but utilizes the core engine of Internet Explorer to display the websites.

While Firefox users might not even consider reading on as their browser features several add-ons that make it possible to capture complete webpages (for example the excellent Screen Grab) other users might be interested. The user selects the output directory and image format of the screenshots in the main interface. Watermarks can be enabled optionally in the program interface.

A core browser engine will be displayed once the initial settings have been made. It is basically a very down to the core browser with options to load urls and to navigate on those websites. The browser window features a big Take Screenshot button that can be used to instantly take a screenshot of the current website.

Simple Webpage Capture might be a solution for users who want to quickly take screenshots of webpages but do not have Firefox or a browser with full screen capture capabilities installed. Combining the default web browser with screen capture possibilities is however the more natural way.
