Opening HttpWebRequest in Internet Explorer

[mwieder]

Hi - I'm writing some web site automation using HttpWebRequest. At a
certain point in the process, I need to continue the session that I
have started inside Internet Explorer as opposed to continue through
HttpWebRequest. I can save off the web page and open it in IE, but how
do I pass the cookie that was being used in my HttpWebRequest object to
IE?
thanks!

Educated guess: Use WinInet's InternetSetCookie() to create a new IE
cookie before spawning an IE process.
