One solution is to pop up another window using JavaScript, this will allow you to pretty much customize that windows appearance, size, width, height, scrollbars, toolbars, as much as you wish. But, if after all that you still want to hide you scroll bars you will need to use CSS and make a style that looks like this:

html, body {height: 100%; width: 100%; overflow: hidden;}
My website is locked to 800x600 so no problem there. But I do fear that the website will look too small with a 1600x1200 resolution

thanks for the tip I'll try it out and see if I can make it work
