re you talking about the case when you click on internet explorer icon and it does not open maximized? or you are talking about case when you click on a link somewhere it does not open maximized?

If the problem with links, it can be due to the fact that the website is coded that way to open popup window in specific size. if it is the case when you open IE from the desktop short cut, then some settings changed.
To correct that, go to internet properties>advanced and reset to default settings on everything. I recommend update to IE7. Since it has tab browsing, your problem should go away.

Hope it helps.

Just as a side note: I highly recommend to abandon IE and get alternate broswer like Opera or firefox. I personally think Opera (www.opera.com) is far better than others. Try it out and check out its security record: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers
