Open web app without toolbar, address bar etc

    Currently users of my web application have a short cut on their desktops to the login page on my website. On logging, I have code to open a popup window with no address bar, toolbar back buttons etc - I want it to look like an application and not a website.

    The problem I am encountering now is that users are regularly new toolbars like the yahoo toolbar. These toolbars often include extra popup blockers which block my application from opening.

    Ideally I would like to have the link I put on the users desktop lead straight to a page without toolbars, address bars and all that good stuff... This would eliminate the need for me to go opening popups? Is there any way of doing this?

    Maybe, but I wouldn't do it. If a user has installed a popup blocker they have choosen to block popups. If you try to circumvent this you may, and probably will, loose users.

    Sounds to me you may need to implement a smart client instead of a browser based interface, or you may need to redesign your browser based interface to not rely on popups.
