In this i see that he creates more than one page and for example he wanted to close the second page but that not what i want when i use ie and i open something another pages open (advert) so for ex: i have created one page and then i clicked something in this page then another page opened what i want is to close any page except the one i have created or that i am attaching.

Do you want to just enumerate all opened page, check url for each of them, attach to this which are unwanted and close them ?

What if i don't know the url or the title of these pages ?

Did you check out the functions in @SmOke_N's post? These could be used as the basis for your task.

You must to know only this one which should stay  connected/opened.

Seems like you could do this by only knowing the URL to keep...

No.

Instead checking url you can check anything, even html content.

Remark: this is only my not tested conception - code exist , byt only in my mind

What I intended to say was that you should be able to do this if you know the desired URL to keep.

Agreed that it could also be done using other criteria.

Simple example:

#include <IE.au3>

Local $sURL = "https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/188551-close-all-ie-except-the-one-that-is-attached/"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL, 1)
;~ Begin Adding Example Tabs
    $oIE.Navigate("https://www.google.com", 0x0800)
    $oIE.Navigate("https://www.youtube.com", 0x0800)
    Sleep(5000)
;~ End Adding Example Tabs

Local $i = 1, $oIETab
While 1
    $oIETab = _IEAttach("", "instance", $i)
        If @error = $_IEStatus_NoMatch Then ExitLoop
    If Not StringInStr(_IEPropertyGet($oIETab, "locationurl"), $sURL) Then
        _IEQuit($oIETab)
        ContinueLoop
    EndIf
    $i += 1
WEnd

Hey, I'm trying to use this but the extra tabs won't close and I'm getting this error in the output:

$sTmp = $oWindow.type
$sTmp = $oWindow^ ERROR

Did something change?

The problem with the script is that sometimes URL is changed while loaded.  So if you search for the original URL it may not exist as is, but it is still loaded under a different URL. So try this, it is working well for me :

#include <IE.au3>

Local $sURL = "https://www.autoitscript.com/"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
$sURL = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "locationurl") ; make sure you got the right URL
;~ Begin Adding Example Tabs
$oIE.Navigate("https://www.google.com", 0x0800)
$oIE.Navigate("https://www.youtube.com", 0x0800)
Sleep(5000)
;~ End Adding Example Tabs

Local $i = 1, $oIETab
While 1
  $oIETab = _IEAttach("", "instance", $i)
  If @error = $_IEStatus_NoMatch Then ExitLoop
  If _IEPropertyGet($oIETab, "locationurl") <> $sURL Then
    _IEQuit($oIETab)
    Sleep (500)
    ContinueLoop
  EndIf
  $i += 1
WEnd

ps.  I added some sleep after _IEQuit to give time to the script to close tab.
