IE is run in explorer.exe process

On my machine, when I launch Internet Explorer there is no seperated iexplorer.exe process. The process seems to be part of the explorer.exe process. If I have 5 browser windows there is only the explorer.exe process. Is there a setting that I can change so that iexplorer.exe is it's own process for each browser window?
I am testing web based software and the session is not dying when I close the IE browser, it is sticking with the explorer.exe process so that when I open IE again, the session still exists. I do not want this. Any Ideas???

jmgraham821, For each Internet Explorer window you open there should be a IEXPLORE.exe process running. explorer.exe is a seperate process which should be a running process all the time. iexplorer.exe is not Internet Explorer or did you just spell it wrong?
