Greetings all!

I am interested in creating a desktop application using Internet Explorer
that takes up a determined portion of the user's desktop and has references
to files they will need to access. We have a mess of files in our file
structure, but there key people who need to only access specific files within
that file structure - so I want to make it easy for them.

I was thinking of creating a web page with links to the files and then
having this website be the users tool to access the files they need. But not
without restrictions...

first, this is to be run mainly on a Terminal Server 2000 environment...
second, i want to rid all the menu and toolbars IE has to offer, no need for
them

that's about it, I am hoping for some general ideas on how to do this, any
limitation i might encounter and any helpful hints. if anyone has experience
creating a similar system, please donate your thoughts. thank you!

Create a web browser control. This will let you create a windows-based
application with Internet Explorer functionality. You can look for samples
on MSDN or google or www.codeproject.com
