Modify IE 'Internet Options' in HP UFT (QTP)

Question

I need to ensure that the "Use automatic configuration" checkbox is set to off before my script starts. Group policy keeps changing this.

How can I get into the "Internet Options" menu? It is not recording the click on the cog icon. The shortcut keys are Alt + x + o.

This is what I've tried:

Browser("NetStar Login").Dialog("Internet Options").WinTab("SysTabControl32").Select "Connections"
Browser("NetStar Login").Dialog("Internet Options").WinButton("LAN settings").Click
Browser("NetStar Login").Dialog("Internet Options").Dialog("Local Area Network (LAN)").WinCheckBox("Use automatic configuration").Set "OFF"
Browser("NetStar Login").Dialog("Internet Options").Dialog("Local Area Network (LAN)").WinButton("OK").Click
Browser("NetStar Login").Dialog("Internet Options").WinButton("OK").Click

Here is how I solved this. Would love to hear better solutions:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.SendKeys("+{TAB}") 'shift + tab
wait(1)
WshShell.SendKeys("{RIGHT}")'right arrow
wait(1)
WshShell.SendKeys("{RIGHT}")'right arrow
wait(1)
WshShell.SendKeys(Chr(13))  'enter
wait(1)
WshShell.SendKeys("o")      'o
