Here's the method I've always used for IE5, for what it's worth:

To force IE to open new windows full-size:

1. Open IE.
2. Open it again, so that you now have 2 empty windows.
3. In the 2nd one, right click a link and open in new window.
4. Resize this window by dragging the sides out to full size (Don't use the
max button).
5. Close the first window.(No 1 above).
6. Close the new window---the one you've just made full size---by clicking
File, then hold down Control as you click "close".  (Don't use the Close
button.)
7. Close the second window (No 2 above).
8. You may or may not need to reboot, depending on your system/version.

If you get it right, this setting should now stick, and all subsequent new
windows should open full-size.  Be warned, though, that his uses a little
more memory, so you may not be able to have quite as many separate windows
open at the same time before running out of memory.
