Batch file to close a window

Dohhhh! The title should read: Batch file to close a _*folder*_.

I preface this by saying that I only have a rudimentary knowledge of
batch files. Also, I searched high and low for this information before
decided to make this post.

I have a batch file that launches several programs and a specific
Firefox profile that I use to study French. That works fine. However,
the complimentary batch file that closes all of those things has one
problem. It cannot close an explorer folder. I believe the reason is
because the folder is part of Explorer as a whole, and if I used
taskkill in order to such down Explorer, the whole thing would shut
down... or at least restart.

Is there any way to close a specific folder using a batch file?


I've attached a copy of the batch file as a txt file in case that help
clarify what I'm talking about.

No, there is no way to close a specific folder with a batch file. It might
be doable with vbScript.

Thanks. I feared as much.
