1) Try:
tell application "Internet Explorer.app"
or
tell application "Macintosh HD:Applications:Internet Explorer.app:"
The latter form is less portable, of course, but may solve your problem.
2) You can pass usernames and passwords in URLs in the form:
OpenURL "
http://username:email@hidden/path/index.html";.
I'm not sure if that'll solve your problem or not.
