Opened Task Manager, clicked on Internet Explorer, then clicked on End Task.

WooHoo! All the windows closed. I just did a restart and it looks like things are normal. The only thing that looks vaguely weird is a desktop icon that I don’t remember. It says “Homegroup”, and has little green and blue spheres as part of its symbol. Does that ring any alarm bells for anyone?
