starting Internet Explorer from Windows commandline

[Ann Ominous]

I've been trawling through lots of pages trying to find out what
options I can pass to IE from the command line. I think I originally
saw how to do this on PCmag.com but could not find it earlier. And I
didn't see it on the Microsoft site either.

What was possible to do from the command was to
specify a URL (simple; iexplore http://www.microsoft.com/
size a the window
There were other options but I cannot recall them at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

There aren't very many.

Yes... same options for IE6.

Here's the "add a URL" hack:
Put this into the Target field:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.yoururl.com (space
between " and w and use the path to IE for your machine))
I recall that there is one for window size, but I don't know it.
