Profiles in Internet Explorer

[NT_Worker 0]

Does anyone have any idea about setting up specific configurations of IE that can be launched from different icons?

 

For instance,

 

Icon 1 will launch IE with an address bar, navigation buttons to a home page of "www.yahoo.com"

 

Icon 2 with no address bar, no buttons, with a home page of "www.disney.com"

 

Etc, Etc.

 

Thanks,

Well, I know that you can use a command line to get to the page that you want;

 

 

iexplore www.disney.com

 

 

or, you could just use the address as the line;

 

www.disney.com

 

 

in either case, you can make icons and use those lines in the command path statements. I don't know what switch (if available) would allow for the toolbars to be manipulated. What you may want to do is to go to MS and search for pages dealing with the Internet Explorer Administrator Kit (IEAK) and see if there is any documentation to do that.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into the IEAK.

 

This is puzzle has been solved with Netscape, netscape.exe -P"Profile name"

 

But Netscape is not right for my uses, It too easily allows a user to type in: c:\ in the address bar and gain access to C: (read only, but still...)

 

Thanks again,

Well... IEAK did not seem to solve this issue, If anyone has any further ideas, I can still use them. Thanks for the help Clutch.

Q. How can I start Internet Explorer without the toolbars?

 

A. Internet Explorer has a kiosk mode which fills the entire screen with no toolbars using:

 

iexplore -k

 

This may not be exactly what you want though so you could write a windows scripting host program which starts an IE object with the toolbar disabled:

 

Dim objIE

Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application")

ObjIE.Toolbar = false

objIE.Navigate "http://www.savilltech.com"

objIE.Visible = true

 

If you save the file has ienobar.vbs and then execute with

 

cscript ienobar.vbs

 

IE will be started with no toolbars.
