For several days now whenever I shut my computer down, I get a pop-up
saying that iexplore.exe is trying to close and giving me the option
to close it immediately which I do. The computer then shuts down just
fine. Does anyone have any USEFUL suggestions to eliminate this
anoyance?[/QUOTE]

UPHClean.
From Microsoft:
The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are
completely terminated when a user logs off. System processes and
applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user
profile after a user logs off. In those cases the user session is prevented
from completely ending. This can result in problems when using Roaming User
Profiles in a server environment or when using locked profiles as
implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.

Clark,

Thanks for the link. I'll let you know tomorrow if it worked or
not.[/QUOTE]

I just noticed your question about Google. Yes, and I do use it quite
often. I just thought I'd probably get a better answer here where all
the Windows experts hang out. Also, I'll be surprised if the above is
going to work for me. Since I NEVER use Internet Explorer, it seems
unlikely that it has suddenly, on it's own, decided to start not
releasing handles. But, since IE is integrated so tightly into WinXP,
I guess anything is possible. As I said, will let you know tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

As I suspected, the Hive Cleanup program did no good. I'm still
getting the pop-up about iexplore.exe trying to shut down. Once I shut
it down manually, Widows then shuts down just fine. Still looking for
suggestions.[/QUOTE]

No kidding? I had a customer just today that had a Malware Alarm
infection
after I cleaned the computer of the infections (malware alarm) the computer
also hung on shut down with IExplore.exe yada yada....
I did the hive cleanup just as I suggested to you, and it worked great!
Could you be infected with something ?
I ran Smithfraud removal and Adaware.Se, and Spybot S&D
then the profile cleanup from MS

I hope that someone can help if I can't, I just know what has worked for me.

I've run Spybot, Adaware and Spyware Doctor and checked for LOP.
Can't find anything. I know SOMETHING is there, but nothing shows up
yet. Will keep looking. Thanks for the help![/QUOTE]
