I want to be able to open a html document directly from the desktop without any toolbars, title bars etc. Does anybody know how you can do this?

I have seen scripts for opening a pop-up window from another page in this way but I would prefer not to have to do this. If this is the only way around it - how can I close the existing (first) window immediately after it has launched the pop-up?

HELP!

You can't change the existing window, so you'll have to go the popup method. To close the original, you'll have to use window.close(); which will force a prompt telling the users you are trying to close their browser window...

I don't really want to have to do that as I want it be to seamless. Isn't there some script I can put in the first page? It seems odd that I have to launch another window.

I want it to work like MSN - when you sign into Messenger, MSN Today is launched. I want users to log into there computer and a web page to be opened automatically without the toolbars.

If this isn't going to be possible I'll have to think of another way around it.

I'm not certian this will work but you could use the windows scripting host, which may or may not be installed and instead of writing a html page write a .js file with the code to make a popup window as the contents

when this is ran it should open the window how you want it, I havnt tested it myself but its worth a try
