Question: I need to run several instances of a Ruby script that's using the Watir gem, and they all need to be able to run in IE fullscreen mode. 

CLARIFICATION: They need to be able to open IE in a mode that *allows* **multiple** instances of IE to operate in full screen mode, not necessarily trigger the fullscreen. Opening up IE normally allows only a single instance to open fullscreen (not maximized).

I can make this happen manually, by specifying the '-f' parameter on iexplore.exe. Is there a way to make this happen when creating the browser object from Watir? 

If I can't make it happen when this as some sort of runtime parameter, I'd be ok with changing the base Watir call that opens IE - if I could and could find it.

```
require 'watir' 
browser = Watir::Browser.new <--- adding '-f' somehow here?

```

Answer: 
`-k` puts IE into a full screen kiosk mode that is more than `F11`. There are no toolbars, menus, icons, etc. You have to hit `Alt`+`F4` to close it and you can `Alt`+`Tab` to other open tasks.
Feels hackish, but I figured out I *can* do something like (but I'd love a better way):

```
require 'watir'
IO.popen('C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe -f "newwindow"')
browser = Watir::IE.attach(:title,/newwindow/)

```
