I just set up a proxy in the Control Panel settings and searched
the registry.  Turns out the key is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings.  ProxyServer 
is set to "10.2.3.4:999" (my test value) and, among other things,
ProxyEnable is set to 1.  Probably lots of documentation about this
stuff buried somewhere, if anyone cared.  I don't.

(Oh yeah, the winreg module would presumably handle this all,
if you knew what to do.)
