Press and hold down the Alt key, then press the Spacebar to reveal the right-click context menu at the top of the program window you're trying to close.

Release both keys and press the letter C. This will cause the window to close. You'll probably need two hands for this one. This feature can be handy if you want to leave the desktop program open but get rid of all the files you're working on in quick succession. It's possible to select an open window without using the mouse. Use this shortcut in conjunction with the other shortcuts to close all open windows without taking your hands off the keyboard.

Sometimes you don't actually want to close all those windows; what you really want to do is just look at your desktop. Use the same shortcut to bring back all your windows. If you are running Windows 7 or later, there are multiple ways to access your Windows desktop. When you have numerous files open in the same program, like a bunch of emails in Outlook, Word files, or several spreadsheets in Excel, you can close all of them at once using the mouse.

Simultaneously close all open windows: While pressing the Ctrl key, successively click each of the task icons on the taskbar. Right-click the last task icon, and choose Close Group.

Franck Dernoncourt Franck Dernoncourt I just found myself a quick way of doing this after a very long overtime work today. Thank you!

Go crazy on the F4 key until everything is shut down. Not one click, but it's pretty fast You can hold down F4 , but you may need to click windows with the mouse since they may not automatically grab focus. NHerwich 43 8 8 bronze badges.
