Hello,

Is there any way to just close down open Explorer windows and leave other application windows still running?

Thanks,

CaH

Here's how I do it...

Code:
;-- Put Windows Explorer classes (there are two) into a group.
;   This only has to be performed once in the script.
GroupAdd WExplorerGroup,ahk_class CabinetWClass
GroupAdd WExplorerGroup,ahk_class ExploreWClass


;-- Then when you are ready, Winclose using the group as the WinTitle.  Something like this...
WinClose ahk_group WExplorerGroup
return

I hope this helps...

Thanks, that is very useful. It works exactly as I needed it to. By any chance to you know how I could tile just explorer windows. I think I can work out how to minimize everything but Explorer windows and then send this dllcall, e.g.

Code:
<#Space:: DllCall( "TileWindows", uInt,0, Int,0, Int,0, Int,0, Int,0 )

But I wondered if there is anyway to do it without minimizing the windows of other applications

Thanks again,

CaH

#Space::
 ; Make a pipe delimited list of "Windows Explorer" Windows
 WinGet, WE_List, List, ahk_class CabinetWClass
 Loop %WE_List%
   hWnds .= WE_List%A_Index% "|"
 WinGet, WE_List, List, ahk_class ExploreWClass
 Loop %WE_List%
   hWnds .= WE_List%A_Index% "|"
 ; WinArrage() operates only on non-iconic windows
 WinArrange( 1 , hWnds, 0, FULLSCREEN )
Return
