Tweak Tip: Control IE With Command-Line Switches
 
    
Make Internet Explorer behave your way.

Tweak TipYou too can take control of Internet Explorer with a few simple command-line switches. If you have IE 4.0 or later, you can take advantage of these by doing the following:

  1. Click on the start menu.
  2. Click on Run.
  3. In the text box, type "iexplore.exe" followed by a space and one of the following switches (for example, "iexplore.exe -e" or "iexplore.exe - channelband") and press return.

    The switches:
     
    -e
    This starts IE in Explorer mode with the split pane view, so you can browse your computer's directory on the left, and look at Web or hard drive content on the right.
     
    -channelband
    This opens up IE as a desktop toolbar, with the current channels directory displayed, if you're interested in surfing via Web channels. Note: This switch only works if active desktop is off.
     
    -nohome
    Starts IE without loading any webpage.
     
    -new
    Start up a new instance of IE (same as double-clicking the IE icon on your desktop).
     
    -slf
    Starts IE and loads your homepage from the cache (as opposed to updating your homepage as it usually does).
     
    -k
    Starts IE in Kiosk mode (full screen mode meant for demos and such, when you need to use a keyboard, only a mouse).
