Configure IE to use a SOCKS5 proxy instead of SOCKS4

When configuring IE to use a SOCKS proxy server it does not allow you to specify what version of SOCKS should be used. I would like IE to initiate the handshake using SOCKS version 5, not SOCKS version 4. Is this possible? Does IE 9 support the use of SOCKS version 5?

1@iglvzx does any version support socks5. Also chrome uses default system settings. Than it doesn't support socks5 either. – Ghita – 2012-01-29T09:29:58.343

IE does not support SOCKS5.

FreeCap adds very granular selective SOCKS support.
