How to obtain the location of proxy server

I am trying to follow the guide here to set up the proxy so I can do conda install behind a proxy. But the automatic configuration script is greyed out so I can't copy its path. How do I obtain it's value via another way e.g. via registry?

I am using Windows 7 and I have admin rights.

Under registry item:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>POLICIES>INTERNET EXPLORER>CONTROL PANEL

there were AutoConfig Reg_DWord 1, and Proxy REG_DWord 1.

If these are set to 1 they grey out both options and the user whether an administrator or not cannot change them. This prevent a novice user from messing up the selections.

Please delete both of these reg_dwords and the options should be then changeable.
