Running XP and IE7. We used to use a proxy server. Under LAN settings, I am trying to uncheck the "Use proxy server". When I uncheck it and click ok and go back into LAN settings, it is checked again and contains the old proxy IP address. I have tried rebooting, making it 0.0.0.0 port 80, but it was reverts back to the previous setting. How to I uncheck this once and for all? Is there a registry setting?

All that needed to be done in this case was to change a few registry values and then I was able to change settings as necessary and have them stick.

String value: Proxy URL + ":" + port number
Clear this value to erase server setting.
Software\Microsoft\Windows
Clear this value
