PowerPoint and Excel don't close completely

S

SantistaS

If I open several PowerPoint or Excel 2003 archives and then close all them,
as well the application itself, Task Manager shows there are several
instances of PowerPoint (4) and Excel (2) still running.
However, these applications don't appear using the Alt+Tab option.

So, if I want to use these applications I have to open them again and the
number of instances of PowerPoint and Excel in Task Manager increases to 5
and 3, respectively.

This means, these applications are occupying the PC RAM memory, but they
are not available.

This occurs also with some other non MS applications.

The only way to close these "residual applications" is through Task
Manager.

How can I close these applications completely, normaly?

My system is Windows XP SP2
