I know you can change the user agent string with registry settings, but that requires a reboot to take effect. Anyone know of a way to change it dynamically, or even better yet, just for specific sites?

My bank now traps you if you're not using an "approved" browser and tells you that you can't log on. Setting the user agent to IE 5 fixes that, but then of course, many sites don't recognize you as a mobile device. Including PPC Thoughts. So then you're stuck with the standard version of that site.

On a related note, anyone have the direct URL for the mobile version of this site?
