Iexplore in the back ground

[Jack E. Moore III]

Whenever I open internet exlorer it keep opening little
background programs called "Iexplore". After a while I
have about 8 of these running regardless of wether
Internet Explorer is running or not. This didn't start
happening until I had to do a clean boot because something
in the ini files were messing up my video, sound, and
mouse. Anyway it seems to slow down my computer when there
are a lot of these "Iexplore" programs open so does anyone
know a way to stop them from existing past 1 internet
explorer execution? Thanks...
