Aha, and that setting would be found in the registry under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

That's also assuming that one is using IE; I bet the other browsers keep 
their own values of that setting. But it'd be reasonable to use that as a 
default I suspect.
