===== END PROXY.REG =====

To add this information, copy the text between (and exclusive of) the BEGIN & END PROXY.REG lines and paste it into a text file. Save that file as proxy.reg. Copy that file to the computer hosting Team Foundation Server (proxy) and then double-click proxy.reg to add the information to the Registry.
