Well wouldn' it be more accureate to write the code or script to program specific, meaning the execute the closing is only to be applied to any IE windows only and not any thing else.
Meaning somewhee in the script it has to be program specific with the target of the program file name ext.. in it. sorta similar if you were to create a target for an icon.

Edit: also for it to clear out of memeroy to release its memory, Now im probably getting out of hand here. what about a batch file that program specicif and closes those windows and then auto runs a memory cleaner or something like memclean once it closes the windows to free up memory.

Well I haven't been able to find anything. The best I could do was creat a shortcut to the desktop icon, but it takes about 2 seconds before the windows close.
