I have a program that sets proxy settings and it has worked through prior versions of Windows until Windows 8 and IE 10. It sets the keys below. In Windows 8, other browsers (like firefox) recognize the change and use the proxy settings. For IE 10, the global policy goes into effect (settings greyed out) but not the proxy settings themselves. If I set ProxySettingsPerUser to 1 and copy the same keys inth HKCU, then IE uses them for the current user ... but I need this to cover all users.
