How to force developer tools to open in IE

Question

I need to force open the developer tab in IE. I'm working with an application in IE that has "disabled shortcuts". I would like to open the developer tab to modify the client side layout for better work flow. Is there a way to force open the developer tab to add my custom JavaScript to improve work flow?

EDIT The application is in a window without any tool bars or access to anything but the url. IE is required. No other browser will support the application without crashing

Answer 1

Figured it out. If you click on the URL and then press F12 you can access the developer tools.
