I would like to run IE6 in Kiosk mode autmatically at
startup. I cant figure out how to resolve this in a policy
but i think it can be done as a local setting on the
machine itself.
This article explains how to set it but the pc doesnt
remember this after a shutdown
Set Internet Explorer 6 to Run in Kiosk Mode

Kiosk mode means setting the browser window to full screen
view with just a scroll bar for navigation. To provide
additional controls, such as access to the Back, Forward,
or Refresh buttons, you can set Internet Explorer 6 in
partial kiosk mode, which includes a smaller toolbar at
the top of the browser window. To add a Full Screen button
to this toolbar, so that you can move easily from full
screen view to the standard browser window, do this:
Right-click the toolbar at the top of the browser window,
and then click Customize.
In the Customize Toolbar dialog box, click Full Screen
under Available toolbar buttons, click Add, and then click
Close.
To hide the toolbar at the top of the window entirely, do
this:
When in full screen mode, right-click the toolbar.
Click Auto-Hide.
Now you can view Web pages at full size without any
controls getting in the way. When you want to view the
toolbar again, move the pointer over the top of the Web
page. If you don't want to add a Full Screen button to the
toolbar, you can also toggle between full screen and the
standard view by pressing F11.
