When using a dehumidifier, do you close all windows in your house?

My friends apartment had a really bad leak and everything is soaked. So she took the big items outside (its 86 degress and very windy). And inside there are fans going, and a dehumidifier. Does a dehumidifier work best if all the windows and doors are shut, or would it dry faster if you opened up the windows?

      An area you want to control the humidity in an area you want to have it off completely to have it off completely to have it helps.
