Hi!

Is this group called Toolbar / IE-Toolbar?

I need to switch it off in kiosk-mode (F11). How can I accomplish this?

Thanx a lot
Ralf
 
Hi Ralf,

Two methods,

Registry tweak, You need to know what your doing here
Under the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
you will find a value "Theater"

Open the value and change the 1f value (ordinal 16) to 00.

If you are programming the OpenModalDialog has parameters to open in theatre
mode and hide the toolbars to create a chrome window.

Regards.
 
Hi Rob!

My Theater setting shows way more than only 1f. Furthermore it gets all its
settings back if I changed it to 00.

The explanation of the TheaterMode property says: "In theater mode, the
object's main window fills the entire screen and displays a toolbar with a
minimal set of navigational buttons.".

The IE is running in kiosk mode: started with parameter "k". Now it is
showing the windows icon and the buttons in the right top corner.

Is there another way to swith this little toolbar off?

Thanx a lot
Ralf
 
Hi Ralf,

Works fine on my machine. Its the 16 byte in the Theatre array that you
change to 00. The default value for this byte is 1f.

1. Start IE in normal mode. Press F11 to change it to Theatre Mode.
2. Close IE by pressing the "X" button (top right)
3. Open Regedit and go to the "Theatre" value under the Toolbar key and
change the 16th byte to 00.
4. Now when you start IE , even without the -k parameter it should open with
full screen and no toolbars.

Note: This is for IE6 only. IE7 has documented bugs with theatre mode.

To return Theatre mode to its default settings just go to the Theatre value
in the registry and delete it. IE will write back its default values the
next time it is started.

Regards.
