What i've decoded so far:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Window Placement: REG_BINARY

(watch the wrapping)

2C000000 00000000 01000000 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF EE000000
57000000 90030000 E7000000
POS WS LEFT
TOP WIDTH HEIGHT

POS: 00 Same position every time (now i can't get this to work - but i swear
it did)
POS: 01 Cascaded top/left

WS: 00 Hidden
WS: 01 Restored
WS: 02 Minimized
WS: 03 Maximized

My favorite settings:
2C000000 00000000 01000000 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF EE000000
57000000 90030000 E7000000

Or, as a reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window_Placement"=hex:2c,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,\
ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ee,00,00,00,57,00,00,00,90,03,00,00,e7,00,00,\
