How do I make Windows (Vista) to apply certain proxy server for all applications that use internet?
Answer
The short answer is: you can't. There is no "global" proxy setting, because proxies are used by individual applications (like Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.), not by Windows itself. However, some programs internally use Internet Explorer libraries to access the web, so they will use the IE setting, as posted by firedfly.
You can force individual applications to use proxies, even if the applications themselves don't support proxies, by using tools such FreeCAP or Socksify.
If you really do want to force all programs to go through a proxy it would have to be done at the network level, so you would need to establish a VPN connection to a service like Your Freedom or Steganos Internet Anonym.
