Hello,

Does anyone know of a way - maybe a shortcut key - that will close all the
windows at one time? I've looked up the shortcut keys available in XP but
do not see anything about this one.

Thanks!

That minimizes all the windows--a very different thing from
closing them.

Click on Alt + F4 and hold till all the programs close. May have to repeat
occasionally. Stan
