I am having a problem whereby my internet explorer window
will not cloe, either by clicking on the close icon or
any other routes. It just will not close. In the end I
have to end task to close my internet window, and this
closes all other related window too. Its a pain in the
butt. I'm running internet explorer 6.0 on windows XP.
