Many times a background pop-up will do this too, if it is the last window closed.

Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you must do it manually. * Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right) [Exception] In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the Registry. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Window_Placement"= To reset the "Window_Placement" entry to default. You can download a small reg file to reset (to default) and correct this behavior.
