Thanks WTC, yes I have sp2 running and will shut down those Add-ons and see
what happens. I can not remember exactly when this started, but I think it
was when I activated Outlook Express and installed Mailwasher. Anyway the
Add-ons is a place to start. Thanks

Jerry, do you have Service Pack 2 installed? If you do, I would suggest to
disable all third party Add-ons for Internet Explorer and see if this
solves your problem. If it does, then enable one add-on at a time until
you find the culprit.

If you do not, there are third party tools available.
ToolbarCop also disable third party add-ons for Internet Explorer.

IEXPLORE.EXE does resides in
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer, but NOT in the system 32 folder
I am running AVG 7 Pro as my antivirus and it is fully updated and runs a
virus check daily. It has not found anything. I run Ad-a-ware Pro 6.0
fully updated for spyware and it has nothing either. I have run MS
Defender before, but it never seems to find anything.
I sure would like to find a solution for this, but right now I am stuck
as where to go next.

Jerry,
iexplore.exe is usually Internet Explorer, but it can also be malware.
The REAL iexplore.exe lives in these two folders...
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer
and
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
iexplore.exe can also be Trojan.KillAV.B, W32.Mogi virus,
W32.Comdor.K@mm
mass mailing worm, Randex.AD worm, W32/Forbot-AG, W32/Rbot-EZ worm, etc
if
found in C:\WINDOWS\system32 or folders other than the two listed above.
Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.
Do the same for whatever anti-spyware applications that you have.
The REAL iexplore.exe is not a service. WaitToKillServiceTimeout will
not
affect the REAL explore.exe. WaitToKillServiceTimeout may affect
explore.exe if it is W32/Forbot-AG. W32/Forbot-AG installs itself as a
service named "Microsoft IE".
AutoEndTasks, HungAppTimeout and WaitToKillAppTimeout will affect the
REAL
explore.exe.

In news:bAAOf.52112$no3.16761@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Jerry <jhuffman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
It was a typo, the process is IEXPLORE.EXE which is NOT malware, and it
has been closed before trying to shut down the computer. After
starting
the shut down process, a popup comes up saying the it is still running
and xp will shut it down. The timer times out, but the popup remains
and
the shut down process stops right there unless I manually close the
popup. This can occur as many times as IE has been opened. IT is
really
a PITA.

The correct location is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
not
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
or
[HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
But if I was you, I would listen to Wesley. I also would try to find
out
what is going on with the Internet Explorer process and why it is not
shutting down properly.
The next time you want to shut down the computer, make sure all
Internet
Explorer windows are closed and then look in the Process tab in Task
Manager and see if the "iexplorer.exe" process is running or not. I
would
also use Process Explorer from sysinternals.com and see if the
"iexplorer.exe" file location is valid. If the file location is not
valid
then I would say you are infected with malware.

I want to change the timeout value for XP, this is the explanation:
When you shut down Windows XP, it attempts to end all services that
are
currently running. If a service does not respond nor shuts down,
Windows
XP will wait a specific amount of time before forcing the service to
end.
I have one program IEXPLORER.EXE that refuses to shutdown and want to
force it to do so.
I was told to use this procedure:
1.. Open the Registry Editor.
2. Expand the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control.
In the details pane, double click the WaitToKillServiceTimeout. The
default value is 20000 milliseconds or 20 seconds.
3. Set the value lower than the default. The minimum value is 1
millisecond.
4. Close the Registry Editor.
5. Restart Windows XP.
This is wrong as SYSTEM is not under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, but I did
find
it in regedit.
I did a search in regedit for WaitToKillServiceTimeout and found
this:
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control
There is no name or value set for this. Can I safely name it
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout" and put a value in for it?
