Check for, and kill, the dexplore.exe process. Fairly common over the years when the IDE won't close fully that this is the culprit.
Never found a preventative solution, just this to fix the end result.

Today I tried to compile a simple program and after I ran it, I could not close Delphi. Checking Task manager showed that both bds.exe and my application were still running, but neither could be "kill"-ed. Rebooted PC and started again. Managed to do a few small jobs, then started to write a new program. I tried to run it (with nothing more than 1 action to open a text file and add it to a memo), closed the application then closed BDS. When I tried to open BDS again, I found it was still running in the background (GExperts complained), and so was the test program. Again, neither can be killed, and although I can run BDS, I can't overwrite the exe I'm developing, so development is going to be very slow with a lot of rebooting! Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas what might be preventing the app from closing (I presume it is because the app won't close that BDS can't close). I've tried a lot of googling, but if the answer is out there, I'm not thinking of the right keywords to search for! Thanks for any help you can give.
