I am unable to close the window out by pressing the close
button in the top right hand corner of my browser. The
only way I have been successful at closing it is by using
CNTL + ALT + DEL and canceling the application out in the
Task Manager. I have also found that I cannot use my
shortcut keys anymore. I am using IE-6 for WIN XP Pro.

This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware, parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
