I've been playing with something similar Scott. So far it is not doing
everything I want but here is a start for you.
These are the command line switches for IE
· -new-Launches the browser window in a new browsing process.
· -remote-Starts a remote instance of Internet Explorer on UNIX platforms only.
· -k-Starts the browser in Kiosk or full-screen mode.
· -nohome-Starts Internet Explorer without its home page.
· -embedding-Starts the Web browser control (no home page is displayed).
· -channelband-Displays the channels folder.
· -e-Starts Internet Explorer Help on UNIX platforms only.
· -v (also -version)-Can be used to specify the version on UNIX platforms only
By using the -k switch , you open with no bars. In order to close it down you
have to use Alt+F4
For example:
To run Internet explorer in Kiosk mode (Full screen / no bars)
Go to Start>Run and type in the following line
Iexplore.exe -k
To force it to open in the root folder of C drive, the command would be;
Iexplore.exe -k file://c:\
Or to force a particular file it would be
Iexplore.exe -k file://c:\<my_path>\my_index_file.htm
The downside is that the internet can still be accessed through the Windows
Explorer address bar or by adding the address bar to the tool tray.

| Hello everyone,
