If the machine running the script has IE 7 or later installed, the
answer is NO. For IE6 or earlier, the answer is that it can be done
by first setting the FullScreen property to True and THEN reset the
Height and Width properties to the desired values.

However, the HTA solution that I posted CAN remove the title bar.
Simply change the borderstyle property to None. However, since the
title bar in my solution has no buttons and a title that is under user
control, there really is little reason to remove it.

As far as setting it's message, it works exactly like the IE
solution. That is, the body.innerHTML can be used to set the message
(though it is a bit simpler to just use the Msg object that the
function provides.
