I need 2 things.

1) my index.asp to open in full screen mode not maximized. I don;t care what it takes*; java, javascript, vbscript, asp, non-local hta, as long as it runs on IIS - no cgi or php.

2) Anytime this full screen window is closed, all browser windows** should close automatically. However, if the full screen window redirects to another page, it cannot close other browser windows.

I cannot use a popup because index.asp (parent) cannot be closed by the self.close() method without user intervention. Since we are limiting access, the user cannot be allowed to use this window to browse.

** We are willing to compromise on just browser windows spawned from the full screen. This may or may not be different from all open browser windows - if this makes any difference or make things easier.

Remote HTA applications bring up that annoying "save as" box. If we can suppress that, that may be an option too.

http://www.dynamicdrive.com - www.dynamicdrive.com theres a full screen window opener javascript on there, but it isnt possible to close every ie or netscape window when you press close on your window, that could cause a lot or havoc...
