I figured what's happening on my machine. One program insists on only using IE for messaging, sending crash reports, etc. It will first throw a message it cannot open the necessary link. Once I close the prog, be it by cancel, Windows Salute, or whatever, it begins to throw up the IE windows like a sick dog. I just hold down the ALT key and keep hitting F4 until they all disappear. Can't remeber which Orkin man prog it is. Sorry.
