When I exit IExplorer, the process doesn't end. I have to manually end the
process. Anyone know why?
Thanks.

Our Man Flint said:Thanks for the suggestions. If I can made sense of all the stuff
below, I should try and "fix WINSOCK" since I am running WinXP SP2
with IE6 and I have NOT lost my Internet connection. So, I did that
by typing "netsh winsock reset" in the command window. It does not
seem to have worked. I still open IE and, after I close it, I still
have an orphaned "IEXPLORE.EXE" process in Task manager. Sometimes, I
even get 3 or 4 of that same orphaned process using >20Mb of memory
each.
I have used Microsoft Anti-Spyware, Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D. Recently, I
DID use the "System Explorers" Advanced Tools in
Microsoft Anti-Spyware. It told me that I had some IE BHOs that were
missing (?) and it recommended deletion to fix it. So, I deleted
them. That's the only thing I can think of recently that I have done.
However, I'm not sure how long this problem has existed.
Did I get all that right?

Our Man Flint said:Thanks for the idea. Strangely enough, when I try to "View Files" as you
suggest below (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V), IE tells me that it needs to shut down.
I'm thinking I need to reinstall?
Our Man Flint said:I fixed it! Turns out it was the Yahoo Toolbar that was causing the problem. Once I disabled it in the "Manage Add-ons" section,
the problem went away.
Thanks,
