IIRC, you can't close them without terminating the tcl interpreter (doing
so destructs the implicitly created Tk object you instantiated when you
used the tkFileDialog function).  However, you can hide it with:

import Tkinter
import tkFileDialog

root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.withdraw()
fileOpen = tkFileDialog.Open()
fileOpen.show()
