    Somehow the explorer.exe process is not shutting down quickly enough for your session timeout setting. This is generally not an issue of much concern, but you may be able to find out how to fix it here:

    The explorer.exe process has nothing to do with internet explorer. It is the process that handles the Windows GUI including the desktop icons and start menu.

    Because you don't disconnect internet properly.
