Q1160 Is there a way of removing the title bar from a window?

No.

Add hundreds of to the title and you will remove the title caption. You could write a loop for this and use the document.write:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var output = ' ';
for (var i=0; i<100; i++)
  output += output;
document.write('<title>' + output + '</output>');
//--></script>

Internet Explorer 5 has introduced the concept of HTML Applications, which can be created without a caption. The caveat is, because of security, they can't be served from a web server. The head of an HTML app with no caption would be:

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Sample No Caption</TITLE>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID="idApp"
APPLICATIONNAME="Sample No Caption"
BORDER="thick"
CAPTION="no"
ICON="/graphics/creature.ico"
SYSMENU="no"
>
</HEAD>

Thanks to what should be regarded as a bug, try this... Start a screen using the fullscreen + no tools etc. option that Internet Explorer supports, then using javascript resize commands resize the window, and tada, you have a titlebar-less window.
