Since I discovered tabbed browsing, I tend to open all sorts of tabs and eventually end up with like 20 open. Then when I realize I no longer I need any of them, I right click the first one and choose "Close Other Tabs"
I end up with a lot of Explorer / Firefox / Foxit Reader / Word windows from time to time when studying or manipulating lots of files, and thought it would be really convenient to have the same functionality in windows. I've written an Autohotkey script that will identify the type of the active window, find the IDs for all the other windows of that type, and then close them all out. It seems to be working really smoothly on my machine. Feel free to download the first version of the CloseOtherWindows script here:
CloseOtherWindows Version 0.1
I've hotkeyed it to Alt+F3, but you can change this if you'd like. I thought Alt+F3 was a good choice beign that it's a similar hotkey to Alt+F4 (close active window) but with a different purpose. Let me know if you've tried the script and give some feedback, good or bad!
