Open IE URL in windows 8 app mode NOT desktop mode

Question

I need to open and IE page from a VBScript that is run by a batch file in Windows 8 app mode, not desktop mode. This is so that users can use the swipe feature between IE and the desktop on a tablet. Any suggestions on how to do this?

This is a bit of code that will open IE and go to the URL:

Set IE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application", "IE_")

urlLine = "https://www.google.com/"

IE.Navigate urlLine
IE.Visible = True

I have tried setting the default browser and settings to Metro mode, but it still opens in desktop mode.

You can read IE Command-Line Options , then you can use:

Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oWSH.Run "iexplore.exe -k http://www.myweb.com"
