I'm using Explorer Patcher and it's working fine, except when I see the file explorer tab on my taskbar and I right click it and choose "close all windows" nothing happens. Is there an alternate way of closing the file explorer windows? Sometimes I have about 10 of them open. I tried Task manager and it doesn't have an "end task" for file explorer

well you dont want to end task for FE... you can restart it...

here is an autohotkey compiled exe that will run in your tray. you can close all File Explorer windows by pressing ALT and ` (the tick to the left of number 1)
