    Right click on the IE icon, select Properties. Go to the Shortcut tab, and in the drop-down list below in Run, and select Maximized. Press Ok.

    Done.

    Or, open one explorer window, adjust the size and any other properties then close it. Wait until these settings are saved (a couple seconds or so) and the next one you open should open to your last settings.
