Closing multiple windows

I think I'm having a senior moment.

It seems to me that once upon a time I could close all open windows with a single keyboard command. But try as I might, I simply cannot remember how it was done.

Any advice out there... System specs are in my sig.

 

It is called "the restart button" or "the power button."

Actually, Microsoft says it is: Ctrl + F4

I just knew when I posted the question, someone would come up with that

Thanks for the help. Hate those "senior"moments, but it's better than the alternative.

 

Hi Dingenium... Tried Ctrl+F4. That closes the current browser window. I'm looking for a keyboard command that will close ALL open windows, regardless of what application they are in.

Yeah, yeah, I know, restart.

 

Holding down the Ctrl+F4, instead of just tapping them will simulate a shut down command, which will close all open windows, but . . .

try this freeware utility instead

CloseAll

 

Ctrl + W will close open windows one at a time, just keep tapping.

 

Thanks RandyG... That little utility does exactly what I wanted.

After a session online where I was supplying help to others with HJT, I would have a number of NotePad windows open (canned responses) plus SpyWareBlaster, TK's BHO list and multiple browser windows open. When I was finished, I was having to manually close them one at a time... What a pain Can't believe an OS doesn't have something to do that built in.

Thanks loads...

 

you're welcome

 

...............It was RandyG who had the utility you liked not me.

Twisting in the breeze like the last leaf on a tree.....................

 

I just get so excited when I find (or someone points out) a utility that makes my life easier, my mind (assuming I have one at my age) gets things (like names) all mixed up. Doesn't diminish my gratitude one iota.

Thanks again RandyG... or LONGHAIR... or someone..

 

CLOSEALL
Yeah, thanks Ray err I mean LONGHAIR (*&^% I mean Randy for that great utility. It works it great.
