Starting Internet Explorer In Full Screen

Are there times when you'd like to start Microsoft Internet Explorer in full-screen kiosk mode? If so, all you have to do is create a new shortcut that you can use whenever you need the full screen mode.

To create the shortcut, right click on a blank area of the desktop and select New|Shortcut. Type in "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" -k and click Next. Now, name your new shortcut and click Finish.

When you double-click this new shortcut Microsoft Internet Explorer will open in full screen kiosk mode.
