You
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:
Click on the start menu.
Click on Run.
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).
