    I am using a proxy server which has been properly setup in IE. All 80 and 443 traffic going through IE is redirected to this proxy as it should be.

    I have multiple other applications, such as winscp and citrix client that do not use the IE proxy settings. Is there a way to get all 80/443 traffic leaving my computer to use the IE proxy settings?

    I've tried "netsh winhttp import proxy source =ie" and it does not work.

    Hi,

    Try this:

    1. At an affected computer, log on as an administrative user.
    2. Click Start, Run.
    3. Type cmd and click OK.
    4. In the Command Prompt window, type the following based on the operating system installed on your computer:

    netsh winhttp set proxy proxy (example:adslcache.rmplc.co.uk:8080)and click Enter.

    5. To close the Command Prompt window, type Exit and click Enter.

    Any applications not using Windows Internet Explorer will now use that proxy (adslcache.rmplc.co.uk) to proxy web requests. Run the affected software application to confirm that it connects to the Internet successfully. 

    This procedure does not affect the proxy settings used by Internet Explorer.

    it may be too late but for anyone else wondering ( like me before searching and finding the answer ) to reset, use the following command :

    netsh winhttp reset proxy
