the main problem is to make it appear fullscreen. are there any command-line parameters of iexplore.exe? or special API functions? or even COM methods can be applied here?
e.g.

lol= new COM('Internet Explorer');
lol.Fullscreen();
:))

To start internet explorer in kiosk mode (fullscreen) you can supply the command line argument '-k'...

I am not sure if this is what you are also looking for, but you can use the ShellExecute Function (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/functions/shellexecute.asp) to invoke IE. Take a look at an example here: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 224816 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q224/8/16.asp&NoWebContent=1&NoWebContent=1).
