I have a question... when running IE (6 SP1) in kiosk mode, is there any way to have the links show while the browser is up? In kiosk mode only the default webpage comes up, but no links, address, buttons or anything else is available. I need to see if I can get only the links to show.

Thanks ahead of time!!
 
IE may be run in full-screen mode and most of the other (selectively) things turned off...(my wife always complains about me turning lots of things off)...tried that? F11 toggles it off and on. Is this what you're calling kiosk mode?

If so, right click at the top and you can add/remove/customize things...

The essence of kiosk mode, as I understand it, is that it DOESN'T have the requisite buttons and stuff...and is good for checking to see that the site can be operated without them.
 
Thanks for the reply. Actually, you can run IE in an almost "true" kiosk mode by going to Start, Run, type in "iexplore -k" (no quotes), and hit Ok. It will bring IE up in kiosk mode with no menu bar of any kind. You need to hit alt-f4 to close.

This is what I'm looking for, but I do want to include the links bar, but no other type of menu bar is needed.
