I can't speak for everyone else...
But what we do is we have VM's that are set up as "clean rooms". They are built off a template which we have configured with all the software set up with proper settings, machine policies, etc. So, when we need a new VM to run automation against, we spin up a new clone and everything is set and configured. I don't, personally, like the idea of having the automation code itself do the configuration as that is just one more thing to write and maintain code for. Better to have the environment get deployed and run the automation against a known deployment...
BUT... YMMV... others may have other opinions but this is what we do.

I'll second this, have your automation assets actually configure your browser opens up the possibility of false positives in your tests. You're testing how your application behaves in IE, not IE itself so it doesn't make sense to do that configuration from your tests.
