What child window? Browsers don't usually have child windows (at least not IE or Firefox). And what is "the window bottom tab"?

I have never seen such a command... but since you are looking for a Windows only solution, you may find there is an IE specific solution that you can do using either VBScript or via an ActiveX control.
As I said, I don't think you can do this using just javascript.

try this ie hack - it just moves the window off screen, then brings it back to the top left when focused.
IE ONLY i would assume...
