Removing internet explorer address bar in xp embedded

Hi,
I am new to xp embedded. I need to know how to remove address bar
from internet explorer in xp embedded. Do I have to make modifications
in registry after xp image is deployed on target environment ?

Ashutosh,

I suppose you are asking about IE 6.x (SP1 or higher)?
If so, you can use IE group policy to restrict the browser to have the
address bar or any other toolbar there hidden.

You can add the following reg key:
[HKCU\Software\Policies\microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions],"NoAddressBar"=dword:1
Or you can add it to HKLM branch if you want this to affect all user
accounts.

How you add the registry value to your image is up to you:
pre-FBA - TD (you can use HKUS\.DEFAULT or HKLM branches to apply
this to all user accounts),
during FBA - a .reg file installed during FBA, or RegMigrate FBA
techquenic,
post-FBA - manually with regedit or .reg file, or automatically with
a management tool (e.g., DUA, SMS, etc.).

KM
