What you can do is change the properties of a new browser window. Using the window.open JavaScript. It would look something like this:

<form name="formname">
<input type="button" name="buttonname" value="Click Me" onClick="window.open('http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.html','Windowname','property1,property2,property3')">
</form>

The properties which you can use are listed on:

Oops, misspelt the url

Thank you for your quick response, it was very helpful.
But can I ,for example , only disable the print option of the browser from the file menu, not the whole menu bar or toolbar to disappear. Thank you

As far as I know that's not possible. But maybe in future (IE 5.5)....?

But I have seen a browser window with its back and forward buttons disabled. How can that be possible?

If you use copyhistory=no you eliminate the browser history list in the new window, thus there is no site "back" or "forward" from that spot yet.
