AutoHotkey: close all active windows explorer

In case you'd like to try PowerShell:

$app = New-Object -COM 'Shell.Application'
$app.Windows() | foreach { $_.Quit() }

Select allOpen in new window

Hi Sam,
I know very little about PowerShell. What in that code tells it to close (Quit) only Windows/File Explorer windows? The only things that I can see in the code that might do it (again, knowing little about PowerShell) are the .Windows and Shell.Application references, but I presume that would catch more than just Windows/File Explorer. What's the scoop? Thanks, Joe

Thank you Joe, I tested and it works!

Glad to hear it, Luis, thanks for letting me know. Regards, Joe

Hi Joe,

My apologies ... you are absolutely correct ... the snippet should include a test for Windows Explorer:

$app = New-Object -COM 'Shell.Application'
$app.Windows() | foreach { if ($_.FullName -match ('EXPLORER.EXE$')) { $_.Quit() } }

Select allOpen in new window

Thanks,
Sam

Thanks for the update, Sam...much appreciated! Regards, Joe
