Microsoft Internet Explorer 7

Start Internet Explorer 7 in Kiosk Mode

SUMMARY: Automatically open a website in kiosk mode inside Internet Explorer 7 from the "Start" menu or via a shortcut.
 
While you can enable full-screen mode inside Internet Explorer 7, what if you would like to start it up automatically in kiosk mode? There are several ways to do so:

1. Click the "Start" button, selecting "Run" if you are using Windows XP.

2. Type in a command in the following format:

iexplore -k WEBSITE

For example:

iexplore -k http://malektips.com/

and press OK.

3. If desired, create a new shortcut on the desktop using a command line with the above syntax.

Internet Explorer 7 will open the selected website in full-screen mode. Note that keyboard shortcuts will still work and you can still right-click a link to open it in a new window.

When done, press ALT-F4 to close Internet Explorer 7.
