It may be that the Properties of the icon you use to open IE are set to "window" rather than Full Screen.

highlight the icon (or even short-cut/menu item) and right click on it, and then select Properties. If, you are able to, check through settings there (can't be more precise as it depends on version of IE and version of Windows) and look for clues about Open As (or the like).
