Hi Joan and Alan 
There are a few ways. Try the following and see if they help:
How To Maximize Windows
In the last window to be closed only, pass the cursor over the right side of
the screen until you get a two ended arrow <---> (Do not use Maximize), then
hold the left mouse button down and drag the edge of the screen to the right
as far as you want it. Then do the same on all the other sides until it
fills the screen.
Use the "launch IE Browser" shortcut, you can R-click>properties>run
Maximized>apply>OK out. That works as well.
or........
Courtesy of Jim Byrd:
"Close all windows EXCEPT the one that opens "minimized"; right click on
your Task Bar, either on the open space on the right or left end (your
choice); select "Tile Windows Horizontally" and IE will maximize; close IE.
Re-open IE and it will be maximized. Just showed a buddy this trick
yesterday and works like a charm. Enjoy."
It does work like a charm, but it isn't quite a normal "maximize" just a
full screen with a border. However, it does subsequently hold that.

Try stretching the small window to full size. (Do not use Maximize)
Ensure that window is the last one closed and IE should remember the
size next time.
also...
Run the REG file at http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#IEMax Then retry the
open, stretch, close process. It may help if your first IE window is always
"normal"- even if it fills the screen- not maximized when you close it.
Hope this helps
