IE can't auto-detect proxies programmably, for the same reasons I mentioned
earlier.  If you go into IE's settings window and right-click on the
"Automatically detect settings" checkbox, you will see that the popup hint
says the automatic settings are provided by the system admin in a separate
file that IE looks for

If you have IE installed, then you can use the WinInet API to query IE for
its current settings.  In that regard, you can pull out some of the same
proxy settings that IE uses.
