Issue
Is it possible when starting Internet Explorer:
- To log on automatically.
- To start in Full Screen mode.
- To show a TGML graphic (without system tree) and without entering a user name and password by a shortcut.
Is it possible to hide the 2 toolbars as described below?

Cause
For some applications such as Kiosk screens, these features are needed
Resolution
Automatic logon
This can be accomplished either by using the "Remember me" checkbox on the logon screen, or by using the guest logon feature. To make WebStation bypass the logon screen, create a user with a username of GUEST and a password of GUEST, give this user limited permissions.
For 1.7 and later, the password for the GUEST account when used for WebStation automatic logon, is not compatible with the default password policies. Automatic logon will only happen if the GUEST account password is exactly "GUEST". If policies are not changed the automatic logon will stop working after 90 days.
Full Screen mode
To make Internet Explorer go directly to full screen mode, you can use the "kiosk mode" switch. Create a shortcut with the command
iexplore.exe -k [insert your URL here]Display TGML Graphic without toolbars
Open the graphic you require, using the "Open in a new window" right-click command. Copy the URL and create a shortcut with it. When you open this URL the user is taken directly to the graphic, without toolbars or menus.
