Itry and open IE6 and whenever it stumbles on start up, Task Mgr will reveal
that one version is already running. I always close out. So why, how is the
browser "running"? Ill kill the larger of the two and the other proceeds
with a loading. Very frustrating to have to check with Task Manager prio to
opening an application just so my PC won't gum up. Please advise.
