title: How do I pass user/password to navigate method in a InternetExplorer.Application object
body: <p>I want to automate a thing in IE using power shell , I have the following snippet:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application";
  $ie.navigate('http://urlWithAuthentication.com');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this url has http authentication, so the browser prompts for the user and password, the previous script works fine, but I would like to not interactively set the user and password.</p>
  
  <p>for example:</p>
  
  <p><strong>This does not exist, looking for something similar</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ie.navigate('http://urlWithAuthentication.com','user','password');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>there's nothing about authentication in the method documentation <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752093%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752093%28v=vs.85%29.aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>I've found questions similar but they were targeting when there's a login page (i.e. user/pass form), in this case I'm targeting to handle the browser's builtin user/pass promt.  </p>
