IE Thread running even after closing the browser

We have a web application with Front End and middleware
made in Java, JSP and data and business logic at AS400
coded in COBOL.

We are also using Jacada screens at some place, which
downloads an applet for those screens in the JSP.

Now once we open up the Jacada screens and then log-off or
cloce the browser by clicking 'x' button on far right
corner, the browser instance is not killed and it remains
when seen through Task Manager eating up memory resources.

I would really appreciate, if someone could help me in
resolving this issue asap and sharing there respective
experiences with this kind of problem faced.

Thanks in advance

Short term fix is to look for a free app called Process Explorer. When you
open it, it shows everything running on your machine, more than Windows
shows you. You can kill anything running instantly. This also helps if you
get freezes to kill the frozen app or program.

You can do a repair on IE by going to Add/Remove Programs... highlight your
version of IE, click the Add/Remove button. A pop-up will appear allowing
you to choose to repair IE. It doesn't work all the time, in fact I think it
rarely works as it should, but it's worth a try.
 
Hi Smoker,

Thanks for your prompt reply....

I tried looking at the left over IE 6.0 process through
process explorer but to no avail as it does not show me
where the actual memory leak has happened.

And also pls note that our clients can't have a process
explorer installed for killing this thread.

I need to figure out why this is happening and want to fix
it. I am not able to figure out this memory leak as
garbage collector should have set free all the memory
resources before IE is closed.

Also Add/Remove Program approach did not work.
Thanks in advance for further inputs
