This only happens with my daughter's profile. When she
launches IE, more than 30 sessions open automatically.

I've fixed it a few times by doing different things.
Sometimes, deleting Temp. Internet files and cookies
resolves it. Sometimes it does not.

I've also made a few registry changes.

What causes it and what can I do to resolve the issue
once and for all?

In her Profile, check for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. HijackThis (http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/
for expert analysis, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
