I know this is probally abit late now, but may be useful for others. Following on 
from the previous messages.

To close all explorer windows (where each folder opens in a new window --- Parent-Child) 
as mentioned you can hold down shift and click on the x to close all the windows, 
but you can also use shift+alt+F4 (this works a treat).

However there are things to note: 
1:>
The shift+alt+F4 command muxt be executed from the last child window
opened, if executed higher-up it will only close all windows up to the parent and 
leave all child windows below open. This is usefull in you have opne 20 windows to 
get to your folder than want to close the other 19. 

2:>
If you open explorer windows from differnt sessions i.e. have 2 parent windows then 
this shortcut will only close the windows of that particular parent-child group (bear 
in mind the first point above).

Regards
Mandeep
