There may exists plugins to MSIE which automates the login process, 
storing the login+password in the users account.

All Squid wants is that somehow the browser sends the correct 
login+password. How the browser gets this information from the user 
Squid does not care about (i.e. it may be a dialog box, or the 
information may be kept securely on file, Squid does not care).

There is no password exchanged in NTLM authentication, only a one-way 
one-time hash which can be verified by the NT domain controller, 
verifying that the user knows his password, nothing more.
