Vim's ":quit", ":close" or ":exit" commands will close any window, including
"special" windows like the netrw, options, quickfix, ... windows. So where's
the problem?
Reading the thread, it appears the OP was editing a file and
then started the explorer with something like ":edit ." -
i.e. he was in a single window.
In that case, :quit or :exit would close down Gvim - not
what he wanted. :close would generate an error message.
Perhaps simply :bd is more like what he wants?
Well, let him learn split-window commands then: ":new ." opens the explorer in
a separate window; or, if you want a File-Explorer-like display on the side,
":topleft vsplit ."; later, ":q" will close that extra window.
Best regards,
