Add-ons - Enable or Disable Add-On Manager
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...d-manager.html
See if a browser add-on is preventing the additional IE processes from closing.
Start Internet Explorer without add-ons by right-clicking the IE icon on the desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.
or
from Start> Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no add-ons)
If the problem goes away, an add-on is causing it.
Since version 8, Internet Explorer uses a tab-per-process model. That means there is a "iexplore.exe" for the user interface, then each tab you have open is another "iexplore.exe" This is done for security reasons and increases stability of the browser.
