There's no way to use wildcards in alias names, but you can prevent this from happening. Most probably, the IE process is mapped by index which changes its value. Open IE in aliases, remove the Index property from its recognition parameters (actually, the only needed property here is ProcessName) and specify the page you're working with as a required child. This will make TC always address the IE instance in which this page is loaded ignoring other ones. See the Specifying Child Objects Required for Mapped Object Identification help topic for details.
