Access doesn't shut down

I can't make this happen, but it happens frequently more than once a day:
I'l close out of Access, whether I've opened a db or not, sometimes I'll
just open Access and then immediately close it.
When I go into Task Manager, it's still running, silently. Sometimes I've
found three or four instances of Access running, although it looks like
nothing is open except Explorer.

I'm using Access 2003 on a Windows XP stand-alone system.

Access minimizes to Windows 95/NT toolbar instead of closing

Don't listen to that DAO dipshit

a) rewrite DAO
b) a buggy library shouldn't be used for anything
c) normal people-- then they see this-- realize that this is not the
intended behaivor of VISUAL BASIC and thus they realize that DAO is a
horrible option

LOSE THE TRAINING WHEELS KIDS, DAO IS CRAP!

DAO has not been included with Windows, Office or MDAC for a decade--
of course it's a buggy library

also; ADO is _ALWAYS_ faster than DAO, end of story

I can do anything via a single small fast library that is built into
windows-- then you dipshits can with a library that has been obsolete
for 10 years

ADO is always always always faster
