here is part of a script that i am trying to get running

--open IE to default homepage tell application "Internet Explorer"
Activate
--open new site in a new window
set b to OpenURL "http://macscripter.net/" toWindow 0
--collapse the new window
set collapsed of window b to true 
end tell

it works fine except for the collapse part. i get an error stating that it cannot set the collapse of the window. – any ideas.

I do not think this is a window property that you can set in IE.
You may be able to do so in the Finder, but it is not system wide.

For that very reason that I would suggest you to use:

tell app IE to set bounds of window 0 to x,y,z,w

in order to get the same effect.
Success.

If you are not using this in X then a more elegant way would be to use Akua…

reposition window1 with collapsing
