I know there is no switch for just iexplore.exe that will clear user defined settings.

I would look into where user defined settings are stored both in the file system (probably somewhere in c:\documents and settings\username\application data\somewhere) and in the registry (probably somewhere in HKCU\software\microsoft\currentversion\internet explorer)

You can then use rmdir and regedit to modify/delete from a batch file.

Either way it's not going to be the simplest thing in the world.

I'll dig in a bit more tomorrow.
Do you mind if it includes some vbs as well?

As long as I can incorporate it into my .bat to .exe file, then not at all.
