Controlling current browser window

Just confirming, it looks like an Internet Explorer browser window can
not be manipulated by JavaScript to hide its menu bar etc, is this
correct?

Yes. No browser that I am aware of can change its layout using only
Javascript after the window has been opened.

Not in a normal internet application, no. You might be able to if you
use an HTA, but those are really only for intranet and CD applications.

Just as a curiousity, the following works in Netscape Communicator 4.78:

<a href="#"
onclick="window.open(window.location.href, '_self',
'menubar=1,toolbar=0');">Remove chrome on this window</a>
