What key in windows registry disables IE connection parameter “Automatically Detect Settings”?

Question

I\'m trying to set all the connection settings in IE.

I\'ve found how to modify most of them, in the path :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\

Answer 1

Another way to control this setting is by using an undocumented registry key AutoDetect=0 mentioned on this blog post:

Registry Key : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\

DWORD AutoDetect = 0 or 1

So the .reg file to turn it off would look like:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"AutoDetect"=dword:00000000
