I.E. 7 close all open windows

[Bill 43]

Is there a key board short cut to close IE in one move, with several windows
open. I have found several suggestions on the internet, but none actually
work. Say if 6 windows are open, I would like one short cut to close all and
shut down IE Thank you

CTRL+W or CTRL+F4 = Close current window (if only one tab is open);
otherwise the shortcut will close the open tab

Download PSTools from MS here:

Copy pskill.exe to your system32 folder, then create a batch file
(something.bat) using notepad and put the following line in it:
pskill iexplore.exe
Create a shortcut to your batch file and in the properties of the shortcut,
assign a keyboard shortcut to run it.

Curious as to why you wouldn't use the native TSKILL and taskkill?
They're located in C:\...system32 IIRC. The taskkil /IM is a handy
command. e.g in a batch file, use:

@echo off
TSKILL /A
taskkill /IM firefox.exe
taskkill /IM IEXPLORE
taskkill /IM notepro.exe
taskkill /IM PDExplo.exe
....
and so forth. See the switches list /? for the /IM.

HTH,

Download the small but powerful 'nircmd.exe' program and copy to your
Windows folder.

Then make a shortcut to it on your desktop.

Choose 'Properties' for this shortcut and change the contents of the
'Target' box to :


nircmd.exe win close class "IEFrame"


....to close ALL currently open instances of "Internet Explorer".


Download 'nircmd.exe' from :

Because it was a tested solution that I know works and it also works with
older operating systems that don't have tskill.
