Passing AD authentication credentials to IE browser in C# Windows Form

Question

I have a Sharepoint site and I want to open this site in IE by using C# Windows Application. I successfully open the site in IE but my question is how do I send the UserCredentials to the site. It opens the site in IE with defalut credentials. My defalut credentials are username: systemaccount password=123 but i want to open Sharepoint site in IE with some different credentials like username: abc password: 123 (I have "abc" as a AD and Sharepoint User)

here is my code for opening Sharepoint site in IE

SecureString sec = new SecureString();
             sec.AppendChar('1');
             sec.AppendChar('2');
             sec.AppendChar('3');

Process.Start("IEXPLORE.EXE", url,"abc",sec,"moss.local");

here is my Sharepoint site URL....... abc is my username by which i want to login sec is a password SecureString password moss.local is my domain where "abc" AD user exists.....

Try this, it seems to be working for me and "user" gets to access the site, not the logged in one:

            ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe", "http://server/sites/spsite/page.aspx");
            startInfo.UserName = @"user";
            SecureString p = new SecureString();
            p.AppendChar('p');
            p.AppendChar('w');
            p.AppendChar('d');
            startInfo.Password = p;
            startInfo.Domain = "mydomain";
            startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            Process.Start(startInfo);
