That was the first thing I tried - but I think F11 is for fullscreen
mode as opposed to Kiosk mode - so it doesn't toggle. I thought I'd have
to CTRL-ALT-DEL - but ALT-F4 did it.


Good thought though - and F11 is really nice on a Windows box -
particularly for screenshots.

That's peculiar. It has something to do with the Windows path, I bet.
Why the OS wouldn't know where IExplore is I have no idea.

CTRL-W does do it (that's a Mac-a-like thing - Command-W usually closes
a _W_indow on Mac. Get it? Much more memorable than ALT-F4. Some Windows
apps (Win/PhotoShop has it) have absorbed CTRL-W for closing windows - a
nice addition.

(I'm on NT4 now - my experiences may not be yours).
