Alright, well I just installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro with SP2 on my
laptop. Nothing else is installed yet but sometimes when I use IE, it
doesn't properly close. When I close it, the instance disappears from the
desktop, taskbar, and the "Applications" listing in the task manager.
However, it remains in the running processes and continues to use up CPU and
RAM. Why does it do this and how can this be fixed?
 
Hi, LargeNostril.

Is this a problem for you, or just curiosity? Why do you think it needs to
"be fixed"?

It's hard for some users to shake off the Win9x/ME mindset when they move up
to WinXP. But WinXP works much differently from Win9x/ME. We had to help
Win9x/ME manage resources, but WinXP doesn't need our help. Just leave it
alone until it actually creates a problem.
