IE7 Slow Shutdown

When I shut down IE7 it will often take about 5 minutes to close during which
time there is major disk activity. On other occasions it will close
immediately but will leave an iexplore.exe listed in processes. Can anyone
explain this and suggest a resolution please?

Thanks.

Can't guess what version of Windows you have. Start with this:

1- Start IE 7 with no add-ons. If the problem no longer occurs, one (or
more) add-ons was causing the problem.

For Windows XP: All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet
Explorer (No Add-ons)

For Windows Vista: Type Internet Explorer in the Start Search box >
click Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons)

2- Reset IE 7 to its original configuration. If the problem no longer
occurs, one (or more) incorrect configuration settings was causing the
problem.

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > under Reset Internet Explorer
Settings, click Reset.

Note: If you want to continue to use any of your add-ons after a reset,
you'll have to reinstall them.

3- Problems with IE 7 can also be caused by the presence of viruses or
other malicious software.
