I also use a third-party utility called "AutoHotkey". Then IE will open in that position, until something else changes it. Position the window as you want it, size and location, then hold down the Ctrl keyboard key and click on the "X" graphical button at top right of IE's window.

Here's one that works on Windows 10 when I launch IE from its pinned taskbar icon, but doesn't work when I launch from a URL shortcut (incidentally I have folder C:\Users\rcarnegie\Quick Launch mounted as a "Toolbar" inside the taskbar, that's where the URL is).

The above tip was previously published in an issue of WServerNews, a weekly newsletter from TechGenix that focuses on the administration, management and security of the Windows Server platform in particular and cloud solutions in general. In other words, it seems that closing all IE windows and then holding down both CTRL and SHIFT while clicking the IE icon the taskbar somehow "reset" IE so that it can now remember the last way I resize its window. Wow, it remembered the NEW size this time!.I then resized the window differently, closed IE and reopened it.Presto! IE remembered the way I resized it.I closed IE and then opened it again by clicking the IE icon on the taskbar.IE opened, and I resized the window the way I wanted by dragging the title bar and corners of the window.Then I held down both the CTRL and SHIFT keys and clicked the IE icon on my taskbar.Next, I closed all IE windows that were open.First, I have IE pinned to the taskbar so I can launch it quickly.
Then this morning while writing this newsletter I found a way to make Internet Explorer remember how I resize its window. I searched the help forums on this issue, but none of the suggestions they offered seem to work. This can get frustrating if for some reason I starts opening with a very small window size as it means every time I launch the program I have to resize the window, argh. For example, I open IE, manually resize the window to the size I want it to be, close IE, reopen IE, and it doesn't remember how I sized it.

I'm still using Windows 7 on a workstation and one of the big annoyances I have with it is that Internet Explorer won't remember its last window size. This one had been nagging me for quite a while.
