    all the haters.

    IE remembers previous setting. Therefore, open it up, maximize and then close it. Next time you open it will be maximized. You do this with no other IE windows open.

    There are lots of these wrappers. They actually use IE within so you can keep favorites

    Less browser hijacks with FireFox/Mozilla. In fact, I haven't had one since switching over.

    My FBI buddy told me that IE has been prone to terrorism access. Programs have been installed to computers without any knowledge of the user, and can acquire full access to the use of the PC. There is a website with all of the information, but I can't find it.

    Foo, I didn't export anything over, just in case something was corrupted or whatever,(paranoid). Every new window is now maximized when opened.

    I noticed that on AZ as well. It's on beta 0.9 right now. Hopefully there will be a final release soon. Haven't noticed any uploading problems, but I did have a problem with my office's offline mail access. I just open up IE at that point. Keep them both installed.
