ALL TOGETHER NOW

In a previous tip, we showed you how to close a number of related windows at once (for example, if you opened a folder inside a folder, and so on, all in separate windows): Hold down the Shift key as you click the X caption button (in the upper-right corner) of the last window you opened.

Don't want to be bothered reaching for the mouse? Try the keyboard way. Make the last window you opened active, then press Alt-Shift-F4. Presto--that window and all of its relatives close in one fell swoop!

(Tip-in-a-tip: Pressing Alt-F4 closes the currently active window.)
