Hi, Violet.
If you are using IE7, there should be a small "x" in the right end of the
current tab. To close just that single tab, click that "x" instead of the
big "X" in the red box. When only one tab remains, it does not have the
small "x" and the main "X" will close IE7.
As Malke said, this is an IE6 v. IE7 issue, not a WinXP v. Vista issue.
Unless you are using a different browser.
