Supressing Menu/Adress/Navigation (All)

[smclean74]

Hello,

I was looking for a way to supress the Menu, Navigation and Address bars in IEx. I have seen the registry modifying methods, but ideally would like to have it session specific.

Is there a way to call IE from a command line and pass it parameters to supress these menus, then pass the URL string.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

As far as I know, these are IE's only command-line switches:

Internet Explorer Command Line Switches
When starting IE (Iexplore.exe), there are a handful of command line switches available for startup:
-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 or -version - Can be used to specify the version on UNIX platforms only.

Could you describe "session specific"?

Open Notepad. Coppy and paste the bold. Save as
Wing.bat

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -khttp://www.winguides.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=brdIE&Number=45884&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&part=1#Post46086

This will open This Forum in Kiosk Mode. To get out of it, Press Alt+F4

Here's an article on using IE in Kiosk Mode, There are keyboard functions available.

Also, you might want to create just a shortcut instead and place it in Quick Launch. Right click on the desktop and choose New Shortcut.

Use this command line:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -khttp://www.winguides.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=brdIE&Number=45884&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&part=1#Post46086

It's the same command as the batch file.

If you want to enforce restrictions, you have to import Registry files first and then use the command to start IE and the specific URL. Those retrictions would still be in place after you were finished, unless you did something like use the

/w switch and have the Dos program then import the undo reg files after Internet Explorer is closed. Then the program could automatically exit and everything would be put back the way it was before you started.

In fact, you could write a batch to do this if you wanted and it would do exactly as you wanted it to do.

Create the registry file to import the restrictions and use the /s switch so there will be no confirmation boxes. That is step one.

I appologize for the late response, and thank you for the suggestions.

I'll give these a try.
