How can I start Internet Explorer without the toolbars?

A. Internet Explorer has a kiosk mode which fills the entire screen with no toolbars using:

iexplore -k

This may not be exactly what you want though so you could write a windows scripting host program which starts an IE object with the toolbar disabled:

Dim objIE<br>
Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application")<br>
ObjIE.Toolbar = false<br>
objIE.Navigate "http://www.savilltech.com"<br>
objIE.Visible = true

If you save the file has ienobar.vbs and then execute with

cscript ienobar.vbs

IE will be started with no toolbars.

    Excellent, just what I was after. I wasn't able to change the window title as I thought I could with objIE.Document.title, but it's still got the job done!

    But still have a problem. once you open the explorer, if you press F11 you return to "maximized" mode (no kiosl) with all menus and buttons (I need to avoide the address bar)

    The only side effect is the command window briefly popping up .. anyway to suppress that?
