Help with Browser Openning....

[Mel]

1) There are no browsers open on the Windows Desktop
2) I have a Desktop Icon the user clicks on. This will open a browser
and show stuff.

Is it possible to open a browser (IE) with no menus, status etc. ???
from command line (DOS exec)

AGAIN. The command to invoke browser is handled via DESKTOP and not
clicking on a LINK in a browser.

I would like to open a window without decoration, rather than a regular
browser

thanks for your help

Not that I know of. Wouldn't this be more of an IE question than an HTML
question?

Well I am using IE as an example, but it could be any browser

Then this is an OS not an HTML question. You want kiosk mode, for IE
from the command line (all on one line):

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -k http://www.example.com

For other browsers it is different, Firefox needs modification to run
kiosk mode.

I followed the instruction you gave me, and now i get a FULL SCREEN
with no borders that i can not get rid of anymore. are there other
options for width/height and how do i kill the screen ?

i tried Esc, that did nothing

thanks a whole bunch for your help

That is the *problem* with kiosk mode, not controls! You must close with
keyboard command only and for Windows the default is ALT+F4
