Everytime I open a new browser session in IE it opens to a minimized screen,
all different sizes! How can I get it to open mazimized everytime I open a
new IE screen? It's a pain!

Go to Start > Programs and right-click on Internet Explorer
and choose "Maximized" from the "Run" drop-down list,
then click Apply.

I did this but it doesn't stay as a permanent selection. The next time it
opens minimized again. I would like to have it permanent even after I close
IE completely.

Right click on the Explorer icon, select Properties, select the Shortcut
tab, then under the option Run, select Maximized.

Let us know.
