Internet Explorer 6 Miscellaneous

Start in Kiosk Mode

SUMMARY: Run Internet Explorer 6 in full-screen kiosk mode, automatically displaying a given website.

You can start Internet Explorer 6 by automatically loading a website and running in kiosk mode, filling the entire screen with the site and hiding all toolbars and menus. This may be useful in batch files.

To do this from the "Start" menu, choose "Run", then type in the following and press "OK".

iexplore -k SITE

Replace SITE with the name of the URL to visit. For example, the following would start Internet Explorer 6, running MalekTips in full-screen mode.

iexplore -k http://www.malektips.com

Or, from a batch file, enter the following:

Start "" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -k SITE

Replace SITE with the name of the URL to visit. If the above results in a "File Not Found" error, replace the second quoted string with the path to Internet Explorer on your system.
