how to close all folders in windows?

Nadav Rock

i have a visual studio form that opens specific folders by pressing buttons. it would be very convinitent if i had a button to close all folders. cant find how to do that.

i have a code to close a specific process but i dont know how to refrence a specific folder and even if i did i dont know to make it work for all folders.

i have:

Process[] _proceses = null;

_proceses = Process.GetProcessesByName("E:/1");

foreach (Process proces in _proceses)

{

proces.Kill();

}

hello dear,
use following code:
ShellWindows _shellWindows = new SHDocVw.ShellWindows();
string processType;

foreach (InternetExplorer ie in _shellWindows)
{
    //this parses the name of the process
    processType = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ie.FullName).ToLower();

    //this could also be used for IE windows with processType of "iexplore"
    if (processType.Equals("explorer") && ie.LocationURL.Contains(@"C:/Users/Bob"))
        {
            ie.Quit();
        }
}

ShellWindows _shellWindows = new SHDocVw.ShellWindows();

string processType;

foreach (InternetExplorer ie in _shellWindows)

{

//this parses the name of the process

processType = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ie.FullName).ToLower();

if (processType.Equals("explorer") && ie.LocationURL.Contains(@"C:/") | ie.LocationURL.Contains(@"E:/"))

{

ie.Quit();

}

}
