#41256 — changes on windows registry doesn’t take effect immediately

changes on windows registry doesn’t take effect immediately

I am trying to change IE’s proxy settings by the following 2 code snippets 

to enable the proxy by this code 

from winreg import *
with OpenKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" ,0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS) as key:
    SetValueEx(key,"ProxyServer",0, REG_SZ, "127.0.0.1:8087")
    SetValueEx(key,"ProxyEnable",0, REG_DWORD, 1)
    SetValueEx(key,"ProxyOverride",0, REG_SZ, "<local>")
FlushKey(key)

to disable the proxy by this code 

from winreg import *
with OpenKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" ,0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS) as key:

    DeleteValue(key,"ProxyServer")
    SetValueEx(key,"ProxyEnable",0, REG_DWORD, 0)
    DeleteValue(key,"ProxyOverride")
    FlushKey(key)

but the changes on windows registry doesn’t take effect immediately,so is there some way to change the windows registry and let the changes  take effect immediately without restarting IE ?

BTW ,I use the code on winxp ,and I am going to embed the 2 code snippets in my PyQt application .

That's an IE question, not a Python question. You might be lucky and have 
somebody here happen to know the answer, but you'll probably have more 
luck asking on a group dedicated to Windows and IE.

Well, that's not exactly the issue.  The registry is being changed
immediately.  The issue is that IE doesn't check for proxy settings
continuously.

No.  This is an IE issue, not a registry issue.  Other browsers might
behave differently.
