Can I pass the -f parameter to iexplore.exe when using Watir?

I need to run several instances of a Ruby script that's using the Watir gem, and they all need to be able to run in IE fullscreen mode.

CLARIFICATION: They need to be able to open IE in a mode that allows multiple instances of IE to operate in full screen mode, not necessarily trigger the fullscreen. Opening up IE normally allows only a single instance to open fullscreen (not maximized).

I can make this happen manually, by specifying the '-f' parameter on iexplore.exe. Is there a way to make this happen when creating the browser object from Watir?

If I can't make it happen when this as some sort of runtime parameter, I'd be ok with changing the base Watir call that opens IE - if I could and could find it.

require 'watir'
browser = Watir::Browser.new <--- adding '-f' somehow here?
