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

I think you would do it by publishing this VB script.
'####################### Script ###############################   Dim
oIE   Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") 'Nice and
easy. 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. Check out 'the "Misc
VBScript and WSH" section of the ScriptVault on
'http://ScriptingAnswers.com for more IE scripting fun.

I have a need to publish IE for a specific application internally
developed. 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.
