IE with no toolbars (but not kiosk mode)

We should all know that Kiosk Mode switch for IE (-k) delivers IE with no toolbars. But it forces IE to be fullscreen which can be a pain. To deliver IE in a window still but with no toolbars we can use some VB Script to launch the IE window.


Dim objIENoToolbars
Set objIENoToolbars = WScript.CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application")
ObjIENoToolbars.Toolbar = false
objIENoToolbars.Navigate "http://www.thinworld.net"
objIENoToolbars.Visible = true

This will launch IE in a window with no toolbars. Ideal for limiting a users options.
Note : Its possible for the user to bring the toolbar back so this is not a secure lockdown launch but a cosmetic one. If you want to lock IE down more you would need to look at a mix of GPO and third party tools like appsense.
