Reg file to change a specific bit in a specific key

Hi,

I want to remove the IE option of "Use automatic configuration script" via a batch or reg file.
I already found where this checkbox is in in the registry.

9th bit of this key :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections] "DefaultConnectionSettings"

How can I make this change from a reg or batch file? I don't want to export the entire "Connections" container because it contains other keys as well that might chagne other system behavior. and I also want to share this solution (be it a reg file or other) with my colleagues, so they shouldn't get settings from my machine. best way would be to change the specific bit from 05 to 01.

Thanks

use the reg add from the cli.

btw, maybe a GPO would do it...?

Cheers.
