Hide address bar IE7

Is there a way to hide the address bar completely, without using the Kiosk mode? I work at a library and in IE6 we have the catalogue running without the address bar to stop students typing in the location they want to go to, but this doesn't work in version 7.

Any ideas?

Thanks

you can launch a window, that strips the location bar... however any user that knows about the fullscreen bug, will be able to overcome this setting.

right now, if a user is viewing a popup window, with no address bar... going full screen, and returning, will re-expose the address bar.

my suggestion would be to add a hosts file, that redirects all outbound requests back to your site.

e.g.
google.com > 127.0.0.1
youtube.com > 127.0.0.1
facebook.com > 127.0.0.1

Or if you are willing to be really dramatic, switch to an OS like Linux, and provide a customized Firefox install... (or customize IE... but I don't think that is too easy)

Hi!

In order to hide the Internet Explorer Address Bar, create the following registry key :

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions\

Then set the NoNavBar DWORD value to 0x00000001.

It's that easy

Then we can say there is no solution for that due to the fact that there is no answer here. It could be a bug in IE7 or the developer who developed IE7 has forgetten this.?

The only problem with this fix:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions]
"NoNavBar"=dword:00000001

It removes both the location bar AND the navigation keys. I do not want the users to be able to type URL's; but still would like them to be able to navigate.

Any solutions?

Thanks
