It is most unfortunate that Mathematica does not set window sizes
properly.  For many years now, it has been accepted practice for
Windows apps to remember the size and location of the user's windows.
I hope this oversight will be fixed in the next version of
Mathematica.

Here is a partial solution:  Note that it affects only the first
window on startup, not subsequent ones created by File/New/Notebook.

I have file init.m in this (Windows, not Mac) directory:
C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\7.0\AddOns\Autoload
\InitialNBSize\FrontEnd\

Here is what is in init.m:

FrontEndExecute[
 {
   SetOptions[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], WindowSize -> {960, 620} ],
   SetOptions[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], WindowMargins -> {{Automatic,
57},{Automatic,-2}} ]
  }
]
