Can I launch IE6 without address bar from command line

I know I can turn address bar, Favorites, links, etc. off in HKCU but
what if I only wanted this behavior in certain circumstances? Is there
anyway to launch IE so that the user can only see the launched page and
embedded links and then close the window? Sort of like the kiosk launch
mode but I still want a window, a taskbar, and an X box in the corner
to close it. Is there any way to do this?

You help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Mike,
You can use javascript in a desktop shortcut.

javascript:window.open('urlofyourpage','_blank','toobars=no');

there are other parameters in the toolbars=no part but currently I do not
have access to my other computer with the help files on it. Search msdn for
the window.open command.

Just for interest type this in your address bar and press enter

javascript:alert('hello');

This will not work for the upcomming IE7 and I do not know about the other
nonIE browsers.
 
Hello Mike,

Click to expand...

Yes, I have developed exactly that kind of command line tool, called Quero
Launcher.

Example:

qlaunch.exe location=no

or

qlaunch.exe location=yes
