An "old" IE trick with kiosk mode?

I remember having IE (5.5) in 'kiosk' mode and being able to plug in some java dimension values and put IE somewhere on my desktop, with nothing but the viewing window... Anyone remember the commands one would have to put into the Run dialog box?

IE accepts javascript commands in place of an address. To see a little demonstration open IE and type the following command into the address bar:

javascript:document.write("hi world")

The browser executes the script and the window now contains "hi world". Javascript is also executed if you pass it to IE as a parameter. Entering

iexplore.exe javascript:document.write("hi world")

in the run dialog has the same effect as the previous example. (Note that you need IE?s full path in case you want to start the browser from the command prompt). Together with the kiosk-parameter and the appropiate javascript commands you could open a web page or file in a customized kiosk mode:

javascript:window.resizeTo(600,600);window.moveTo(420,1);location.href="about:home"

It look a lot like an element on the active desktop so I don?t really see the advantage in displaying browser content like this.
