we do this for a remote working solution - Script launches an IE object that displays a progress indicator during the connection phase, and passes feedback to the user. If the user closes the window the script just starts again Nice and pretty _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matthew Shrewsbury Sent: 07 November 2005 13:53 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Publishing IE I think you would do it by publishing this VB script.

Now you can tell IE to navigate to a page, such as 'the special blank page: oIE.Navigate "http://google.com"; 'put URL to your internal website 'Although of course you could use any URL you like. You can also 'control the appearance and position of the IE window: oIE.ToolBar = 0 'Turn off the toolbar oIE.StatusBar = 0 'Turn off the status bar oIE.MenuBar = 0 'Turn off the menu oIE.Width = 400 oIE.Height = 200 oIE.Left = 10 oIE.Top = 10 'With all of that work, you might want to give IE a second to 'compose itself: Do While oIE.Busy WScript.Sleep 200 Loop 'Finally, make IE show its face: oIE.Visible = 1 'Of course, you'll also want to stick some HTML into IE. Perhaps 'you want to display a status message in red: 'oIE.Document.Body.InnerHTML = "<font " & "color=red>WARNING!</font>" 'When you're done having IE show off, you can close it on command: ' oIE.Quit 'This is a great way to show customized, HTML-formatted dialog 'boxes and status messages as part of your scripts.

The thing is I do not want any of the Toolbars or such to be available to the user but I do want it to be a Window. Kiosk Mode doesn't do it since it comes up as a full screen that you cannot minimize or re-size. Anyone know if there are any command-line switches to IE 6 to do this? Thanks.
