You could try the technique described in post 3 here, however I couldn't get it to work with IE6 (IE seems to flash up and disappear). You'll want to include the web site URL in the Javascript part of the Target like this:

javascript:resizeTo(900,720);document.location.href='http://www.moneysavingexpert.com'

If that doesn't work for you, try the following script:

'IEwindow.vbs
'Opens a web site in IE with a specified window size

Option Explicit

Dim args, url, ie

set args = WScript.Arguments
if args.Count > 0 then 
	url = args(0) 
else 
	url = InputBox("Please enter web site URL (http:// optional)")
end if
if url = "" then WScript.Quit

Set ie = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.height = 500
ie.width = 700
ie.left = 100
ie.top = 100 
ie.Visible = true
ie.Navigate url

Copy it into Notepad and save it as IEwindow.vbs. Next, create a shortcut to IEwindow.vbs on your desktop. Right-click the shortcut and click Properties. On the Shortcut tab, modify the Target by putting wscript at the start and the web site URL at the end, so that it looks like:

wscript "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\IEwindow.vbs" https://www.moneysavingexpert.com

The file path in quotes will be different, depending on where you saved the vbs file. If you omit the URL, the script prompts for it when run.
