SYMPTOMS
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer in Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 to download a file from a Web site to local storage on a device, Internet Explorer does not stop the download thread when the download has completed. This problem may cause resources to be exhausted. Therefore, applications may unexpectedly quit until you quit Internet Explorer.



CAUSE
SHDOCVW is the Internet Explorer component that handles file downloads. This component creates a new download thread for every file that Internet Explorer downloads to local storage. This problem occurs because SHDOCVW does not stop each download thread when the download has completed.
