This tip lists a set of Windows NT registry hacks which restrict Internet
Explorer. If you want IE to come up without toolbars, start it via:
iexplore -k
The Registry restrictions are found under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions . Each DWORD value must be set to 1 to be enabled.
To disable the restriction, set the value to 0.
