It's really one of the problems with IE... that it opens multiple processes in Windows and doesn't always close all processes right away when you call the close command.

We resolved the problem with the following code which we execute instead of using the default Close method.

function closeIEInstance() {
    var counter = 0;
    var browser;
    browser = Sys.WaitBrowser('iexplore', 1000);
    while((browser.Exists) && (counter < 60)){
        counter++;
        browser.Terminate();
        browser = Sys.WaitBrowser('iexplore', 1000);
    }  
}
