Project launched full screen without menu bar only when launched from gateway webpage. When I launch it from a .bat file or CMD line it shows menu bar and close button. I have deleted out the ignition folder and same issue. Here is my CMD line script that is causing the issue.  
“Start iexplore.exe [http://siopignap01.mysmithfield.com:8088/main/system/launch/client/DowntimeMobile.jnlp](http://siopignap01.mysmithfield.com:8088/main/system/launch/client/DowntimeMobile.jnlp)”

You _really_ need to switch to the native client launcher…

I found my mistake and it works now. I needed to add fs for full screen after launch.

I’ll echo Phil here - this is going to be incredibly easier to automate/distribute with the native client launcher. It’s a series of command line arguments that make sense, _and_ you can even send out a prebuilt folder/zip with Java preinstalled. I would highly recommend checking out the client launchers.
