End or Exit Kiosk Mode and Open "standard" window.

Working on a "portfolio CD" that takes excerpts from a
website and runs them in a full screen "chromeless" window
mode via an autorun.exe. It opens IE in kiosk mode.

The problem is when I link to the internet.
Once the user clicks out of the local file system
the "close window" function goes away and the use now has
no way to close the window except for F4.
SO how do I have a link to the internet that opens the new
window with the menu bar etc. (the "chrome") or how do I
kill the kiosk mode.

I have writen window.open java scripts and they work but
they all open in a new full screen chromeless window.

I have tried to use the window.open() function to send the
toolbar=yes and other attributes but it seems that in
kiosk mode all of that is ignored.

So how to I breakout of kiosk mode from within the browser
itself?
I have also tried self.close before calling the
window.open command and that all works, just no "chrome".


Thanks.
SEPP!
