You can try sending a WM_CLOSE message to the window:

Thanks Skit3000, but all I seen there under .lnk ShellEx was a bunch of numbers like: {00021401-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Hey Tommy, that looks like what we need, I was gonna try to get something like:

Shell "",TARGET,WINDOW.CLOSE"window name"

I know above is not correct, but I'm gonna dig out some of my HTML stuff and mess with it.

Thanks Tommy Smile

Heres how I tryed your method Tommy, see if I did it right please.

I think what I keep forgeting to say is:

I need a way to close only the Windows that 'REQUIRE' the SHELL OPEN to open.

EXAMPLE:
IE HTML windows
My Computer windows

It seems like it would be like one of the below:

I think you have to create an HTML window with or without a CLOSE button, something like below, but I forgot how to close a window of your choice Laughing

Does anyone know?

MSIE windows can be killed through DDE - have a look here:

It's is a very efficient but, unfortunately, not a very flexible method coz most control possibilities relate
to the latest MSIE window only. If you wanna monitor the system for a specific window and perhaps kill
it on sight, then DDE will do a nice job.

Thanks a lot Dr Dread, looks great, I backed it up and will study it tommorow, looks like you mastered the DDE area pritty darn good Smile

Appreciate it highly, now maybe I can get this program done.

I guess I could close the MyComputer windows like allways, with Window Send, ALT F4, no biggy there, mainly wanted MSIE window close to work decently.

Thanks again Tired

Hey Thanks Tommy, I searched many keywords 'AND window.close' for what you found and the search allways brings up hundreds of none-related keyword search here, Do I search wrong, I'm used to boolen search engines, like *close*Window* etc..

But Codescripts method works perfect... Smile

I appreciate you finding that info and script Cool

I studied the DDE method, and found that it (the way Dr Dread) did it, would only close that latest MSIE browser window, but his program had something that I was gonna make, a section that lets you load a Address in a new window. Smile

But I did find a way to make the DDE WWW_Exit work, you have to hide any or all the windows between the window you want to close, then un-hide them after you close the 1 window you wanted to close. So that would take some REPEAT UNTIL painful scripting etc etc.. But it did work, I tested it manually a few times, in case someone needs the DDE select Window close.

Thanks again Tommy Thumbs Up

So yeah this works great, Thanks CodeScript Worship
