i don't think this is exactly what you want, but it's a work around. i used
this script on id8group.com

drop this javascript on a local page, and then set the page to your IE
homepage. you can tweak the numbers to change the position and size, but as
is it will resize and center the window.

<tip 	type="js resize and center window"
	language="javascript"
	author="nate koechley"
	example="http://www.id8group.com">

	var w = screen.availWidth;
	var h = screen.availHeight;
	var topPosIE = (w-729)/2;
	var leftPosIE = (h-644)/2;
	var topPosNS = (w-710)/2;
	var leftPosNS = (h-575)/2;
		if ( navigator.appName.indexOf('Netscape' ) < 0 )
		{ // code for IE
			setTimeout('window.resizeTo(729,632)',5);
			top.moveTo(topPosIE,leftPosIE);
			self.focus();
		}
		else
		{ // code for Netscape
			setTimeout('window.resizeTo(710,470)',10);
			self.focus();
			setTimeout('top.moveTo(topPosNS,leftPosNS)',10);
		}
//call from the body tag, with

</tip>

as for just at the browser level, i'd try getting the browser how you want
it, and then use the file menu to close the browser. is should remember the
shape next time you pop it.

g'luck,
nate

Subject: [thelist] IE size and position


Evening everyone,
Is there a way to specify the size and position of IE every time you open
it. I am not talking about a link from the web or anything, Just when I
click on the icon from the desktop.
Somehow my IE opens as a tiny little square on my secondary monitor instead
of full screen on my primary monitor like it used to.
I am using IE 5.5 on Win2k with and ATI dual monitor card.
Thanks,
Brad Miller
