You can do it with this:

To Enable 'Automatically Detect Settings'

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v AutoDetect /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

To Disable 'Automatically Detect Settings'

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v AutoDetect /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Tested & worked. This is batch command. I created two .bat files for enabling & disabling. Thank you very much.

AFAIK there is no global "automatically detect settings" neither a netsh command for this. the setting is specific to a browser. i.e. the internet explorer is configured using reg keys. see the following examples: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819961

once you know the right regkey you can use the reg command to set it.
