Cheers Neil.  

If it helps anyone I've knocked up wee little exe that hosts the IE object
but intercept's CTRL+N, and has no address bar, file menu etc.  It's simply
a window with IE content, all other hot key's work bar CTRL+N and shift
click opens a window of it's own (eg, same as parent with no tool bars etc)
so should never start full IE.

If anyone's interested in having a go let me know...  Should save a load of
scripting and locking down IE with reg hacks

I'm pretty sure you can capture any keystroke to the IE window. I check
for certain keycodes (as window events), and actually disable ctrl key
usage in the spawned window (ie if a ctrlkey is used, it just passes
through a null function).

I mainly use it like this, as dialog boxes from HTAs or scripts. I do a
lot of key capturing because I use it in a particular application as a
progress bar (you know the type of thing - coloured blocks incrementing
across a little window), and I wouldn't want a user interfering with it.

Had to do it that way, because it was fairly long-ish running activity
in an HTA application, and you get the browser blocking issue in the
parent window, so had to do something outside of the main interface
(which was unresponsive until the lower level functionality was
complete).
