At one point I thought that Widgets leveraged the IE settings. Now, I'm not sure.

Sorry yes I ment through widgets. I thought they leveraged the IE settings too but doesnt seem to be true in my case. I tried making OD objects but they didnt work either behind a proxy.
Are there any sample code to show this coding? My own attempts for whatever reason do not seem to work. Kind of wished I hadnt trashed the objects...

Here's a snippet of how to make HTTP requests using a proxy
var winHttpReq = new ActiveXObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1");
PROXY_SERVER = document.all.serverName.value + ":" + document.all.serverPort.value;
winHttpReq.SetProxy(HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PROXY, PROXY_SERVER, "");
winHttpReq.Open("GET", "https://www.someplace.com", false);
winHttpReq.SetRequestHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)");
winHttpReq.Send();
This will submit a request to the server and the results can be displayed through calling
winHttpReq.ResponseText
var winHttpReq = new ActiveXObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1");
PROXY_SERVER = document.all.serverName.value + ":" + document.all.serverPort.value;
winHttpReq.SetProxy(HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PROXY, PROXY_SERVER, "");
winHttpReq.Open("GET", "https://www.someplace.com", false);
winHttpReq.SetRequestHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)");

Does that work if there is no proxy? Meaning if i make a gadget and some people have a proxy and some don't will it work for both? or do i need something in the pref's to say "use proxy"?

You would need something that allowed your users to choose whether or not to use a proxy because they would need to enter the proxy server name and port.
Oh, and since I forgot to post this with the original code, you'll need some of these and you can get the description for them at MS's MSDN site.
// HttpRequest SetCredentials flags.
HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_SERVER = 0;
HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_PROXY = 1;
HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_DEFAULT = 0;
HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PRECONFIG = 0;
HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_DIRECT = 1;
HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PROXY = 2;
