Have you run a comprehensive virus/adware check? I have seen this with a couple of Trojans called DLDER.EXE,  and a spoofed Explorer.exe. The Explorer.exe file is located as c:\windows\explorer\Explorer.exe. Check for an Explorer FOLDER under your Windows directory.

dlder.exe is to do with a stuck and hangin explorer.exe on shutdown not a connections tray hang,
Also run hijackthis http://www.hijackthis.de/en and post your log file.  This will help determin if you have a virus/malware.
