I' m trying to write a batch file that close an open folder, for example pippo. I've tryed:

net file pippo /close

and:

net file C:/pippo / close

but they didn' t work.

Any ideas ?

    that's a local folder. what makes you think you can "close" a local folder? if you mean close an explorer window that happens to have that folder in-view, then you're going to need something entirely different. – Marc B Jul 27 '15 at 21:36

solution for < 8 :

TASKKILL /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq %DirectoryPath%" /IM explorer.exe

For windows 8(.1)/10

TASKKILL /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq %DirectoryName%" /IM explorer.exe

This hybrid code [Batch/Vbscript] try to close all opened folders:

@echo off
Set VBSFILE=%Temp%\CloseAllOpenedFolders.vbs
(
echo Option Explicit
echo Dim shell,oWindows,j
echo Set shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application"^)
echo set oWindows = shell.windows
echo for j = 0 to oWindows.count - 1
echo   oWindows.item(j^).quit
echo next
echo set shell = nothing
echo set oWindows = nothing
)>%VBSFILE%
Start /Wait %VBSFILE%

Need to loop from high to low

Option Explicit

Dim shell,oWindows,j

Set shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

Set oWindows = shell.windows

for j = oWindows.count - 1 to 0 Step -1

    oWindows.item(j).quit
    Wscript.Sleep 50

next

set shell = nothing

set oWindows = nothing

Next code should work (but I did not tested it)

md (folder location/path)

    `md` is short for Make Directory. It has absolutely nothing to do with closing a directory. – Tim Jul 27 '15 at 21:42
