here is the code I am using (to only close IE windows that I have opened)

require 'win32ole'

iefrom = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
iefrom.visible = true

iefrom.navigate "http://www.yahoo.com"
#sleep 2 while @iefrom.Busy == true

iefrom.quit  #this is actually what closes the window.
