How can I stop closing all browser windows at once in Windows XP

How can I stop closing all browser windows at once in Windows XP
Since yesterday I am having issues with my IE. I tried to close one of my browser window but to my surprise all of the browser windows closed at once. It not even asked me if I want to close. I am using Internet Explorer 7. But all my other applications such as Excel or Word remains open. I confirmed my settings and found nothing. Can you suggest me how can I stop closing all windows at once in Windows XP?

Try to reset Internet Explorer settings as follows:

1. Exit all programs, including Internet Explorer (if it is running).
2. Click Start, and then click Run. Type "inetcpl.cpl" command in the Open box, and then press ENTER. The Internet Options dialog box appears.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Reset Internet Explorer settings, click Reset. Then click Reset again.
5. When Internet Explorer finishes resetting the settings, click Close in the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box.
6. Start Internet Explorer again.

Try to run your Internet Explorer without any add-ons and see if you still have the problem with browser closing all at once. If not then I think there is some issues with your add-ons or some toolbar. Remove all the toolbars that you have and then reinstall them once again.
