There are a number of window options you can fiddle with.

Usually, you just include the options for the things that you do want. Popup windows come up with minimal features, by default.

Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>
    window.open('/path/to/document', 'windowName', 'width=600,height=400,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes');
</script>

In the above code, I tell the browser I want the window to have scrollbars and be resizable, and its size. It won't have an address bar , or status bar, or any of that. Except in later versions of IE, which has disabled the ability to remove those components on all non-trusted sites.

If you're asking if there is something in IE that lets you turn off the address bar in a window that's already loaded, thankfully, that is not possible.

Regards,
Rich
