Set the .Width to the current screen res width (other scripts on this board can find this)

Set the .Height to the current screen res height -30 for each line of the start bar. Most people have one line.

The following is a list of parameters you can use for starting Internet Explorer:
   -new—Launches the browser window in a new browsing process.
   -remote—Starts a remote instance of Internet Explorer on UNIX platforms only.
   -k—Starts the browser in Kiosk or full-screen mode.
   -nohome—Starts Internet Explorer without its home page.
   -embedding—Starts the Web browser control (no home page is displayed).
   -channelband—Displays the channels folder.
   -e—Starts Internet Explorer Help on UNIX platforms only.
   -v (also -version)—Can be used to specify the version on UNIX platforms only.

---

The "-k" option may give you full screen, but of course you lose all the controls so it's only useful if you really do want a kiosk style session.

Unfortunately "/?" "/h" "-?" "-h" or just about anything else you try won't tell you about command line switches.

Is there not some sort of generic control to instruct the window manager (explorer) to maximise the current application? Or does each app have to manage their own state and respond to mouse clicks in the title bar area?

It's dark in here.

the -k is what I need !!!

A friend told me something about
"InternetExplorer.FullScreen show=true" or something like that it should do the job but the -k is just enough.

the reg hack you mention work like a charm, but the "-k" option is quicker. Now about the F11 there is a dirty solution. Create a nul shortcut and set the shortcut key to F11, it works !!!

$ie.fullscreen="1"

If you put it before the width/height, then they control the size of the fullscreen (the window will only be widthXheight, if you put it after the width/height, then it will be FULL screen.
