Close a Lot of Windows Quickly

So, you were browsing around in Finder and now have 10 or so windows open? Wanna close them quickly? Simply hold the Option key when you close them. This will get rid of all the windows in one click.

In Finder, you can also use Cmd-Option-W to close all the windows. However, that doesn't work in Safari if you have any tabs open in the front window.

Something you should keep in mind though when you use Cmd-Option-W in Safari 3 is that you will not receive a warning if you have any tabs open. However, you will receive a save warning when using the option key in Textedit.

Finally, this works in all the apps I tested.

Or you could just press F11, and make them go all the way to the side :-)

Yeah, but we want them gone, not out of the way.

If you want your blog to be even more popular, self-digg your stuff.
