How do I programmatically set and unset Visual Studio Options?
I have done the research and troubleshooting and found it is not possible, ironically now I find myself needing this functionality.
Here is a question I answered specifying why its not possible to programmitically click buttons in the VS Options Dialog:
Programmatically reset VisualStudio shortcuts.
I dont need to click a button, I need to change a boolean setting as per screenshot.
Please... if you have any undocumented methods.. please help me. It will improve every developers life, particularly newbies.
Just use:
dte.Properties["Debugging", "General"].Item("EnableExceptionAssistant").Value=false;
Most of the options can be retrieved and set this way. See also:

HOWTO: Getting properties from the DTE.Properties collection of Visual Studio .NET.
You'd have to write code to change the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ApplicationPrivateSettings\_metadata\revisions\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Platform
TitleCaseMenus is the node you're after :)
You may need to change the Visual Studio version number depending on what you have installed.
Edit: For your new pic the registry key is here:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Debugger\UseExceptionHelper
