[Web4lib] IE7 address bar

[Will Kurt]

I think it's pretty unlikely that you'll find a  method for doing 
this as a non-hideable address bar is intentionally built into IE7 
for security reasons.
 From microsoft:
"Simply put, Internet Explorer 7 requires all windows to contain an 
address bar. This helps folks surfing the Internet determine the 
actual originator of the information that they are viewing, making it 
more difficult for the user to be duped."

Also even under full screen mode I wasn't able to get IE7 to hide the 
address bar. It will auto-hide, but it's still accessible if you move 
the mouse to the top of the screen.
