Never experienced that Internet Explorer has other mode other than full screen, yes there is one more option for Kiosk and that called Kiosk Mode. This can not be find through menu navigation, so here is the quick guide:
To start Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode, click Start, click Run, type the following command in the Open box, and then click OK
iexplore -k page
so for example iexplore -k http://www.yahoo.com
For chrome user, good plugin to run in Kiosk mode from chrome web store
This is really helpful for Kiosk based development and even for display the running information.
