CTL ALT DEL and ending IE? How come all IE windows shut down? Is it a failsafe, will this ever chang

They all close because you are closing internet explorer the program - it doesn't matter how many windows you have open there is only one instance of the program running and when you close it, it closes all the windows with it.

CTL ALT DEL and ending IE? How come all IE windows shut down? Is it a failsafe, will this ever change?microsoft word 2003 internet explorer

Because those three keys shut down the programs using the program manager.

Does the manager appear? If not there may be a slight glich in the system. How long has this been happening.

And remember if you hit those 3 keys 2 times in a row it will automatically shut down everything that is running. I'm guessing you are not giving the manager enough time to load...go slower.

Why are you using that combination? Do you use it alot? Is your system freezing up? Sorry, you asked the question and here I'm asking more....
It is asking you if you want to end the program, not just close the last active window. As far as if this will ever change, I doubt it. To be certain you can ask MS.
are they all IE? cause if they are it's normal when you close one IE they all close Try using mozilla firefox instead it's better...
If you *oriignally* started only 1 instance of IE (that is you manually ran the program only once), then even though IE created multiple windows in the course of your browsing, it is still 1 process (in comuter terms). Therefore, if you end this process using the TaskManager, *all* windows will be closed.

However, if you manually run more than 1 instance, then if you end one process, only the windows pertaining for *that* process will be closed - the ones for the other process will continue to run.
ctrl,alt and del, bring up the task manager.. and show you all the processes running, applications, and cpu usage,,, also, you can terminate processes... which you are doing with ie... if you want to be sure, you disconnect from your broadband/dial-up etc...it might change with Vista... but who knows..
In answer to your last question

The next release of IE will be like mozilla/firefox in that you will have one IE window then multiple browsing windows within it.
Depends on which version of windows you are using but generally if you press CTrl, Alt%26lt;Del you are telling your system to shut down all open windows. I assume you are doing this because a particular window is not responding. It may just be that you have too many windows open.
This problem is often related to hardware issues. Have you gotten any errors on startup?

Check video, ram, and any other hardware.
