What version of IE are you using? Is your browser allowing open a pop up? — Leandro Bardelli, Nov 16 '14 at 04:28

I hope below code works fine in IE8

<html>
<head>
<script>
function loaded()
{
    alert("Beep!");
    window.setTimeout(CloseMe, 5000);
}

function CloseMe() 
{
    window.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="loaded()">
Hello!
</body>

What is the difference with the code of the user that is actually working? Please recheck your answer. – Leandro Bardelli Nov 16 '14 at 04:29
Could you provide more information in order to know what is the change that you made for IE takes your code but not the user's code? Because are the same. – Leandro Bardelli Nov 16 '14 at 04:32
Tested: with IE8 is still working the code of the user. – Leandro Bardelli Nov 16 '14 at 04:33
Is the window with the google.com page closing after 10 seconds? I guess not. – William Francis Gomes Nov 16 '14 at 04:36
@WilliamFrancisGomes your code required click to close the window. – Reel Nov 16 '14 at 04:38

You would be able to close a window/tab in IE (or any browser) using javascript but you will not be able to close the application/browser. That being said if you want to automatically close a window after 50 seconds you could use the following:

window.setTimeout(function() {window.close();}, 5000);
