Presumably, your copy of IE is set to normally open a specific online web
page, and you want to override this default behaviour, rather than turn it
off permanently (ie, by selecting 'none' in the browser display/home page
section of Explorer's preferences).
If this is just for your own use, I suggest creating a blank text document
on a local disk, giving it the .html extension, and telling IE to open that.
The script would look something like this:
tell application "Internet Explorer"
open alias "HD:Users:Username:blank.html"
end tell
Even better, make yourself a 'local home page' with some useful links on it.
To my mind this is preferable to having your browser try to go online every
time you start up, open a new window, or return to your home page.
