I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but I posted some code to
the Wiki FAQ (http://watir.net/FAQ#Closing_all_open_IE_windows) a while
ago to close all open IE windows:
# close all open ie windows
all_closed = 'unknown'
while (all_closed != 'yes')
begin
#use a regexp that will match any title so all ie windows are
forced closed
header = Regexp.new(//)
@ie = IE.attach(:title, header)
@ie.close
# catch the exception raised when there's now window to attach to.
rescue NoMatchingWindowFoundException
all_closed = 'yes'
end
end

It's not that. It's an address like "http://localhost:1505/Web"; (the
local address of the VS web server on a developer's machine) that a
developer left in a smoke test instead of switching to the correct
address for the build server. But since nothing is listening on 1505 on
the build server, the attach call fails, and I'm left with an orphan IE
window.

Problem is IE is also works as File Explorer. Attach code does not work
with file explorer behaviour. If your IE with invalid web address is a
file explorer window you can not do that. As I understand from error, it
may not be possible to do that
