Kiosk window invisible

[Guest]

Hello!

I'm trying to start Internet Explorer in kiosk mode with the following
command:

iexplore.exe -k http://www.cnn.com

IE starts, but I can't see the window! The program appears in the task
bar, but without a contextual menu - so I can't close it either...

Anybody has a clue to what's going on?
I have Windows XP Pro SP2 with IE6

ALT+F4 should close that window, if it's the active one. It may be opening
way off the screen (if it's opened properly in kiosk mode, you shouldn't be
able to see your Windows taskbar, either). See this article for possible
help:

Great! Deleting those two registry entries took care of it, even
though IE6 is not in the 'Applies To' list... Didn't even had to
restart the computer.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\window_placement
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Desktop\oldWorkAreas\OldWorkAreaRects

Thanks a lot!
