IF, repeat IF, there are command line argumenst the usual procedure is to
open a DOS box and type IEXPLORE /?

That is usually how you can determine if there command line option for any
executable.

That won't work with iexplore - that will try to open ? in IE.
 
Sridhar,

The following is a list of parameters you can use for starting Internet Explorer:

-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.

See section "Command-Line Parameters for Starting Internet Explorer" here:

There is one more command-line "-eval" which I found, but never been able to understand the exact functionality & implications of using that parameter: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ie/iecompat.htm
