I usually have an Explorer bar in IE with the Favorites.
My my internet has a new page that is too wide for that
(I use 1024x768 and they have a 1024 wide page now).

So is there a way to add something to a shortcut to start an IE6
windows without the Favorites bar (but also not messing up the
setting, I want the Favorites bar when I start IE6 normally).

If not, is it possible from a program (I can make a small Delphi
program that launches IE6 if I can add more switches from Win32)
 
Hello Lars-Erik,

I think I have already developed the tool you are looking for.

The Quero Launcher is an application launcher optimized for IE. It allows to
customize the appearance of the IE window (size, position, chrome, etc.) and
to save the settings in a shortcut.

Unfortunately, it is not capable to hide/show the favorites bar at the
moment. But I plan to release a new version in the next few days.

Alternatively, you can use this function to hide that bar.

Hello Lars-Erik,

I have added a new option to the Quero Launcher to manage standard explorer
bars for you.

To start an IE window with the favorites bar use:
QLaunch.exe explorerbar=favorites

To start an IE window without the favorites bar use:
QLaunch.exe explorerbar=none

The new version is available at

Best regards,

Viktor
