I can't talk about Internet Explorer -- it doesn't work like
the rest.  Also, there's no standard place to store your email
configuration: different programs keep the information in
different places.  If they're using Outlook Express for email
then you need to find out if Outlook Express is scriptable.

For internet configuration stuff, if you already know the new
configuration set up it's trivial to replace the old configuration
with the new one.  There are Network Setup scripting examples on
Apple's site or you can get help here if you tell us exactly which
version of the Mac operating system you're running.

However, people are notoriously wary of having their configurations
changed without their knowledge.  Are you sure it isn't better
just to give them the information on how to do it ?
