Excel VBA Open and close a Folder

Question

So I know how to open a folder within an excel vba macro, but I want to be able to close it as well. Any thoughts? This is what I'm using to open the folder:

Shell "Explorer.exe *file path*"

You can use the Process ID, stored in vPID, to kill the application when you’re done with it. all you have to do is invoke the TaskKill command with the same Shell function.

Dim vPID As Variant
vPID = Shell "Explorer.exe *file path*"

'Perform actions here

'// Kill file
Call Shell("TaskKill /F /PID " & CStr(vPID))
