A. Internet Explorer has a kiosk mode which fills the entire screenwith no toolbars using:

iexplore -k

This may not be exactly what you want though so you could write a windowsscripting host program which starts an IE object with the toolbar disabled:

Dim objIE
Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application")
ObjIE.Toolbar = false
objIE.Navigate "http://www.savilltech.com"
objIE.Visible = true

If you save the file has ienobar.vbs and then execute with

cscript ienobar.vbs

IE will be started with no toolbars.
