IE8 Browser Process Shutdown Latency

When we use IE8 in Windows XP, when browsing a Web page in one window and discovering that there are multiple Iexplore.exe processes in Task Manager, and that the process is not automatically closed after the tab is closed, the process is stubbornly occupied with system resource failures (as shown in the following illustration). This is not really a fault or something, but a new feature of IE8. IE8 designed a backup iexplore.exe process so that the Browsing tab crashes without causing other tabs to crash and exits, but can continue browsing the web as normal.

But for users with tight system resources, this may make their computer memory stretched, so we can automatically turn off the release process through registry settings to free up memory:

Click on the Start menu--Open the Run window--enter "REGEDIT" and open the Hkey_current_usersoftwaremicrosoftinternet Explorermain subkey in the Open Registry Editor, Right-click the subkey for the new DWORD value and set the key value to 0 to close the process immediately after closing the IE8 label and window. This solves the so-called "error" problem of IE8 browser process shutdown latency.
