Yes, I had this problem also.. You wont get rid of that prompt even with a
HTA. This is a built in security feature of IE, you are only able to modify
the properties of a window that you generated with script.

What I did to get around this was set the size of the window to 100px with
window.opener and moved it way off screen to about -9000px top. When your
window that you opened is closed just set the top and width back to the
original size and position.

You might be able to simulate the F11 key with JavaScrit onload. I haven't
tried that yet.

If you ever find a way to-do this other than above, please email me.

Thanks,
-Brian
