Kiosk mode and Fullscreen are two different things. Kiosk mode doesn't even
have a toolbar. You can make Fullscreen appear the same by setting auto-hide
on the toolbar but it comes back when you mouseover in the right area.

To see what Kiosk mode looks like go to Start>Run, browse to a web page on
your HD and then in the command line type "iexplore -k" (without the quotes)
before it. Be aware that if you do not have your taskbar set to auto-hide
you will also lose this, and the only way to close this window is by
Ctrl-Alt-Del.

These instructions apply to IE5 and Win98 (other configurations not tried).
