This really grates with me on IE. It used to happen to me every time I opened a PDF. I'm not sure what you are doing every time it has to close as this can be quite a common occurance. For me, I uninstalled Adobe PDF reader and then reinstalled. This fixed my problem, yours could be anything really :mad:

You could see if it closes every time you do the same thing (like when I opened a PDF).

I'll get this next bit in before any unhelpful people just tell you to use Firefox! Have you tried Firefox? It is slightly weird at first, nothing major though. You could give it a try if IE annoys the hell out of you and you can't fix it.

Start trouble shooting by opening IE in No Add On's mode by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons. If everything seems to be working as it should do then you have an add on which is causing you problems.

To find out which particular one is going to be a case of trial and error, by opening IE normally and going to Tools > Internet Options > Programs then Manage Add Ons. From there you can enable/disable, and do it for each one you have installed until you find the culprit. Once you've located it, remove/reinstall it and it should resolve the problem.

I think you're frustrations would be better directed at Adobe..
