Try NirCmd.exe. Read the help file.

To close all opened explorer folders, syntax : nircmd.exe win close class "CabinetWClass"

To close only a particular folder, say My Picture folder ( I have My Pictures & My Music folders open), syntax: nircmd.exe win close title "My Pictures"

method 1 :

 

With CMD(command prompt):

TASKKILL /F /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq MYTITLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" /IM explorer.exe

(just change MYTITLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE with the opened folder's title [case-sensitive])

 

 

method 2 :

open a new text document and enter this code:

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")If oShell.AppActivate("YourWindowTITLEEEEEEEEEEEEE") ThenWScript.Sleep 100oShell.SendKeys "%{F4}"End If

then save that file as yourfile.vbs and put to your desired path.
Then run the Command:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /C "START /WAIT CScript C:\ExampleFolder\yourfile.vbs //NoLogo"

 

(note,that you should change "YourWindowTITLEEE" and "yourFileName.vbs" to whatever you want. Below is just an
