Description
In the reference for the setting for the 'usesystemdefault' value, the documentation states: "Specifies whether to use Internet Explorer proxy settings. If set to True, subsequent attributes will override Internet Explorer proxy settings. The default value is Unspecified." - this doesn't seem logical and also appears to go against https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/proxy-configuration and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.configuration.proxyelement.usesystemdefault?view=netframework-4.8 - which suggest that setting the 'usesystemdefault' should be set to FALSE to get it to override IE settings, not TRUE! - seems to be completely contradictory...
Please can this be clarified?
