Switching Internet Explorer's NTLM Credentials

I was looking for a way to have Internet Explorer, launched within user1's Windows session, authenticate against NTLM sites and proxies with the credentials of user2.
Using Windows Credentials Editor does work but, as said, it's no production tool.
I also found that using the runas command was problematic because you either create a Windows profile or not:

• If you do create a profile, that means a profile and corresponding home folder will be created, which might not be desirable.
• If you do not create a profile, that means user2 cannot save parameters in IE and cannot receive domain policies, bookmarks and so on.
  

Eventually I found a very short, built-in way to do it:

C:\>runas /netonly /user:my_domain\user2 "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

Entrez le mot de passe de my_domain\user2 :
Tentative de lancement de C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe en tant qu'utilisateur "my_domain\user2" ...

That runas /netonly command lets you run IE with user1 privileges, profile and bookmarks AND authenticates at remote NTLM sites and proxies as user2.

This piece of code is especially convenient in situations where you want to do remote NTLM authentication as a given user but do not want to launch a full Windows session just for it.
