I have a form that allows users to open Windows Explorer and view folders based on a list of path names.
I want to create code that will close all or a specific Windows Explorer screen.
I used this line to open the Windows Explorer
Application.Fol lowHyperlink strPathName, , False, False
How do I close Windows Explorer?
Thanks

Hi, jercha.

Hi, jercha.
If you will manage to run WinExplorer via "Shell" function, then the following will be useful for you
Close a Program
Your notepad program worked for notepad but not for explorer.
How do I fix?
I replaced notepad with explorer but the CloseProcess failed to close the explorer screen:
Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessag eA" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, _
lParam As Any) As Long
Public Declare Function GetWindowThread ProcessId Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByRef lpdwProcessId As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32" _
(ByVal fpCallback As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Public Const WM_CLOSE = 16
Public Sub RunAndCloseApp( )
Dim lngProcID As Long
lngProcID = Shell("explorer ")
MsgBox "Explorer started, Ok to close it", vbOKOnly, "Close App"
CloseProcess lngProcID
End Sub
Public Sub clbEnumWindows( ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lngParam As Long)
Dim lngProcID As Long
GetWindowThread ProcessId hWnd, lngProcID
If lngProcID = lngParam Then
'Debug.Print hWnd, lngProcID
SendMessage hWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0
End If
End Sub
Public Sub CloseProcess(By Val lngProcID)
EnumWindows AddressOf clbEnumWindows, lngProcID
End Sub

This is a followup to the post below. The original post was helpful and I
now know many ways to RETRIEVE information from Windows explorer, but I
haven't yet found a way to INSERT or UPDATE values into the comments or
titles fields. If someone knows how VB.Net can INSERT or UPDATE column
values in windows explorer that will be very helpful.
Thanks,

Hi,
When I want to close the current window using window.close() in IE6.0,
there will be a confirm box that: The web page you are viewing is trying
to close the window. Do you want to close this window?
I have to click yes to close the window.
How can I close the current window directly without this dialog box?
Thank you.

Is there any way to check for open Explorer windows and if any are found,
tell Windows Explorer to close them. I don't want a brute force method of
killing Explorer and letting it restart. I'd prefer something a little less
drastic. I suspect what I'm going to need is some API call such as
SendMessage. Anybody have any suggestions?

I'm having difficulty getting this to work. Any help would be appreciated.
What I'm trying to do is to open Explorer onto the Windows/fonts directory
and then close it. I've added a font programmatically to the directory and
found that the easiest way to refresh the folder is to just open windows
explorer. Without doing this, it isn't refreshed in the system. I had the
same problem in VB6 and VBA as with VB.net. Searching the newsgroups...

After considerable googling - I mean searching with Google(r) - I
could not find javascript on a button or <a href=... to close a

There seemed to be two techniques for earlier versions. But the
window.opener='' ;window.close();
and the
window.open('','_parent','') ;window.close();
techniques do not work for me. I.e., I still get confirmation message

I am looking for VBA code that will work with Access 2003 to enable

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
