I don't think you can once they are using your user account (login). Just setup another user account with passwords

is this what you are looking for ?

Opening Internet Explorer Full Size

Ever notice sometimes you right-click on a link and open a new window and it's not full screen? This usually occurs because IE remembers the last window size when closed. Many times a background pop-up will do this too, if it is the last window closed. To resize the window and regain control:


Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the window manually by dragging the sides to the desired size.
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.

Download: ResetWindowPlacement.reg (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/ResetWindowPlacement.reg) [right-click and select: "Save Target As"]
To use: right-click and select: Merge - Ok the prompt and reboot.


When all else fails, paste the below line into Start | Run
javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.av ailHeight)
Note: then make sure the above window is the last one closed.
