Close folders with python-Code doen't work

Question

I work with python 2.7.8 and i use this code to close all open applications:

import os,subprocess

os.system('taskkill /im chrome.exe')
os.system('taskkill /im POWERPNT.exe')
os.system('taskkill /im OUTLOOK.exe')
os.system('taskkill /im WINWORD.exe')
os.system('taskkill /im ArcMap.exe')
os.system('taskkill /im acadlt.exe')
os.system('taskkill /im EXCEL.exe')
os.system('taskkill /im AcroBat.exe')
os.system('taskkill /im wmplayer.exe')
subprocess.call('nircmd.exe win close class "CabinetWClass"' , shell=True)

I succeed to close all applications except OUTLOOK and all the open folder of the windows 7 Professional

The Same code to close outlook is working fine with me !! – Strik3r May 03 '16 at 07:13 — Strik3r, May 03 '16 at 07:13
The open folders are instances of explorer.exe – kmaork May 03 '16 at 07:14 — kmaork, May 03 '16 at 07:14

Try restart explorer.exe to close open folders.

os.system('taskkill /im explorer.exe')
os.system('explorer.exe')

Try f (force) parameter to force Outlook to close.

os.system('taskkill /f /im OUTLOOK.exe')

Also you can try this; https://stackoverflow.com/a/4230226/4471283

This will open the shut down dialouge box i guess !! – Strik3r May 03 '16 at 07:21
for me it does open a shutdown dialog box instead of closing the opened explorer instance !! – Strik3r May 03 '16 at 07:26
Umut Çağdaş Coşkun, now it close the outlook-thanks, but all window folders doesn't closed :-( – user4989939 May 03 '16 at 07:35
What do you mean with "all", does closing some folders or no one? Maybe you can try to add **/f** parameter like this `taskkill /f /im explorer.exe` – Umut Çağdaş Coşkun May 03 '16 at 07:41
i mean all for other applications except the folders. i try to add taskkill /f /im explorer.exe but then the computer crashed – user4989939 May 03 '16 at 08:00
