Thank you, Robert, for the great advice and info!
I've run
regsvr32.exe /n /i wininet.dll
successfully.
When trying to run
regsvr32.exe /i ieframe.dll
it shows another error:
---------------------------
RegSvr32
---------------------------
DllRegisterServer in ieframe.dll failed.
Return code was: 0x80004001
---------------------------
Another strange thing, looking at Process Explorer after re-registering IE8
as default browser and wininet.dll, iexplore.exe doesn't show up as multiple
instances when opening multiple tabs. Before, when more tabs were opened,
there were 5-6 iexplore.exe listed under the main iexplore.exe entry.
Even with that change, there was still a delay in iertutil.dll immediatelly
after shutting down IE8.
I've played with some settings and watched the results and the following
seems to do the trick or to cause of the problem since the latest KB
security update:
I had "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed"
checked. If I leave this unchecked there is no delay after closing IE8, I
have access to any icon on the desktop or Start button access, no more 5-10
second delay as before, even with 20 tabs opened at the time of closing IE8
down.
Ever since IE7 the empty TIF function was checked all the time and only
before the latest KB update it became a problem, at least on this system.
As a workaround, I've moved the TIF folder on a RAMdisk which is basically
automatically emptied everytime system is shut down so little chance of
cloggin down IE8's temporary folder.
Gonna try Empty TIF with next IE8 KB updates hope they'll fix it.
