By pressing F11, IE will open in full-screen mode, but many of the buttons and options remain on the screen. There is a way that you can set IE to open as a true “kiosk,” or full-screen window without any buttons or such. To do this, simply append any shortcut that you have to IE with the switch “-k”
and use that shortcut to open IE in kiosk mode. For example, for most PC’s, the command would be: “C:Program FilesInternet ExplorerIEXPLORE.EXE” -k. By doing this, you can create a true “dumb terminal” that makes your PC seem more like a true terminal rather than a browser window, which is especially important in some applications and settings.
