I wasn't following this thread closely, but didn't Jim Kenzig post a =
kiosk
wrapper a while back, something like "Libray Browser" that let's you
configure all of these options with point and click? (a client of ours =

Kiosk is ok (full screen etc) I like using the following little VBS in
addition to some IEAK policies



Set objIE =3D WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Menubar =3D FALSE
objIE.Statusbar =3D FALSE
objIE.Toolbar =3D True
ObjIE.Navigate("http://www.google.com";)

objIE.Visible =3D True

Change your Navigate property to whatever URL. I use this a lot when
publishing an IE web page from Citrix but have also used it client side.
