How do I remove scrollbars from Internet Explorer?

I'm using a netbook and would like to have as much of my screen real-estate as possible for browsing. I have scroll zones on my trackpad and a scroll wheel on my mouse, so I don't really need scrollbars. Is there any way to get rid of them?

"From the looks of it, I don't think you can disable the scroll bars system-wide in Internet Explorer 8.

You might be able to get a Grease monkey script (thats if it is available for IE8) that would remove the scroll bars, but there definitely is not a 'built-in' option for this. Some quick Googling came up with this (although I am not sure if it would work with IE8)"

You can reduce their width in the Display Control Panel. This will affect all scrollbars.
