Downloading a file using internet explorer credentials in VB.NET

Question

I want to download a file in VB.net from a website that requires credentials, all my users have their credentials to this website saved in their IE settings. Is there a way to download a file from this website using the IE credentials? I'm trying to avoid from asking my users for their credentials.

thanks.

Edit: I need to download many files, so i need a way to download the files programmatically.

Answer 1

just invoke this command from Process.Start:

explorer http://www......

this only works if you have the full url of the file you want to download. In case the default browser is not IE you should replace explorer with iexplore
