Following are a pair of links that list probably most of the command line links available for Internet Explorer:

These can be run in most versions of MS windows (& unix) by creating a shortcut with the following line as the target:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

If your are one of those people eternally trying to get the window in (or close to) full screen (F11) mode, try this(also inspired by Pennanti):
javascript:window.open('http://my_web_page_link', ', 'height=600, left=0, location=no, menubar=no, resizable=yes, scrollbars=no, status=no, titlebar=no, toolbar=yes, top=0, width=800')
This came courtesy of his suggestion at:
