How do I manage Microsoft Proxy Server?

You use the ISM to stop, start, pause, and continue the proxy services. If you select a running service, the Stop and Pause buttons become active and you can stop or pause the service.

Double-clicking the proxy services opens their dialog boxes from which you can choose options. You can also hide certain types of services from the display. In the window, I hid the FTP and Gopher services by not selecting their icons.
