I use the following function to close all VBE windows
Very useful when so many windows are left open you can't find anything.
It also significantly speeds up loading the VBE editor if it doesn't need to load lots of unwanted 'legacy' windows
To use the code, just copy it to a module & run it
NOTE:
1. As stated in the code, add a reference to the library 'Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility'
2. After running the function, all windows will be closed except the one containing the function itself.
Alternatively, to close all ALL windows, create an Autokeys macro shortcut for this function e.g.Ctl+Shift+X
