Okay I want to know the easiest way possible (if possible?) to manipulate the the Visible property of each of the toolbars in Microsoft IE. For example (with as little effort as possible) how do I disable and hide the toolbar containing the Back/Forward/Stop/Refresh buttons.

Also for you real adventurers, how do I manipulate the Advanced Settings for Microsoft VM Java enabled. Remember I would love to stay away from any complicated scripting as much as possible, I can however use any method.

Late!
 
I dont believe YOU can mess with any settings on a users machine through any calls...is that what your trying to do? Regards,

Yes I am trying to manipulate the Client machine's IE settings to match what my Server Side Software requires function properly.

For example: The Server Side Software require Java VM to be enabled and I don't want to make the user do this him/herself, so I want to do it programatically. There are many others, like the Back/Forward buttons make no sense, so I either want to disable them or hide them all together. I do however require that the status bar be visible (and so on, and so on...)

 
well you can modify these properties with javascript from a window.open:

window.open("myPage.htm", "myPage", "width=200, height=200, resizable=no, scrollbars=no, toolbar=no, status=no") -Greg :-Q
