You can add the following code at the end of your test script to close the IE Driver. So there is no need of closing it manually.

try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /F /IM IEDriverServer.exe");
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Else open notepad and paste the following code.

taskkill /F /IM IEDriverServer.exe

Save the file as closedriver.bat

Click on this batch file when u want to close the IE Driver.
