Paste the following expression in a notebook and click Yes on the
resulting dialog box.

Cell[BoxData[
    TagBox[
      ButtonBox[
        RowBox[{
          RowBox[{"close", " ", "input"}], "\n",
          RowBox[{"cell", " ", "group"}]}],
        ButtonFunction:>FrontEndExecute[ {
            FrontEnd`NotebookFind[
              FrontEnd`InputNotebook[ ], "Input", All, CellStyle],
            FrontEndToken[
              FrontEnd`InputNotebook[ ], "SelectionCloseAllGroups"]}],
        ButtonEvaluator->None],
      DisplayForm]], "Output",
  Active->True]

This button may be placed in the notebook that you wish to manipulate, or
it can be converted into a standalone palette by selecting the cell's
bracket and then clicking on the front end menu command sequence:

	File -> Generate Palette From Selection
