fullscreen function in IE

I am attempting to open a new window fullscreen=yes. In IE 6.0.28 it works,
no bars, no borders, a true full screen. However, in IE 6.0.29, it doesn't
work, it pops up with title bar, status bar and borders. Is this is glitch
or digression in the new version? Is there some setting I can make to get a
true fullscreen? Thanks for your help.

Like Kiosk mode?

Type "iexplore -k kgiii.info" without the quotes (feel free to use any URL)
Is that what you're looking for?

One IE Window only open>Press F11 key then close IE.

There's a great free program called Auto Sizer by South Bay Software that will solve your problem.

Thanks for responding you guys, however, and I should have clarified this
before, I am attempting to open a new window from an existing web page using:

<a onclick="window.open('newwindow.html','title','ful lscreen=yes')">

It successfully opens a new window in IE 6.0.29, but the fullscreen=yes is
what doesn't work, but does in previous versions of IE. Any new thoughts?

Take a gander here:

http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/dh.../3470521#click

That might be more what you're looking for. You can change the button to a
simple text link if that's your goal. For the above in text link (oddly they
don't have that there) try this:

<A HREF="javascript:void(0)"
onclick="window.open('pagemane.html',
'welcome','fullscreen=yes,scrollbars=yes')">
Open a full screen window</A>

Galen, I appreciate your replies! I actually visited htmlgoodies to try and
find a solution there. The problem is the version of internet explorer, I
know I have the code right. It works perfectly on computers with older
versions of IE, but on computers with IE version 6.0.29 it simply doesn't
open full screen, and I'm looking for some kind of fix for this specific
version, a patch, a line of code or whatever.
any thoughts on this?
