To close the program properly on Windows, click on File in the menubar, then choose Exit. This should ensure that the program actually closes, and that the lock file will be deleted automatically. Closing all the windows will usually close the program, but not always, as you have seen.
Do you mean to say that the other options -- ALT-F4, CTRL-Q, and the [X] icon at the upper right corner of the screen -- are not equivalent to File | Close??? That would be astonishing to me (a nonprogrammer).
I've noticed that SM (and Mozilla before it, for that matter) occasionally fails to terminate correctly, leaving a process running that I can see in Task Manager but no visible window or tile in the taskbar. When that happens, it continues to retrieve mail, displaying the tray icon and playing the sound, but the user has no way to access the program. ALT-Tab cycles through all other running programs, but never shows SM. Even Task Manager doesn't show it in the list of running applications.
If I force the process to close in Task Manager using "end process," I can then relaunch the program normally with no harm done.
