How to close the IE 8 Developer Toolbar

I spent about 30 minutes recently trying to prevent the Internet Explorer 8 Developer Toolbar from opening every time I opened my browser. I like the Developer Toolbar a lot, but I definitely don’t want it opening all the time. Finally I realized that you first have to dock it in an existing IE window, then close it within the IE window, then close IE. Before you do all of that, make sure you have all other instances of Internet Explorer closed.
