Windows XP - closing all apllications at once

When you minimise applications, ie Word, Excel & Powerpoint etr, they show up in the bottum tool bar - is there any way to close them all at once without having to shut them down individually?


Thanks

hit alt f4 repeatedly

I think theres a program called End it All that might do it.

I think he wants to minimize, not close.. hold the windows button and press D.. do that again to bring them back up.

i'm assuming their english isn't very good and assume i'm right with their intention to minimize and not close.

As the question states I did mean 'close' the applications not minimise.

oh......... then WTF did you say "When you minimise applications, ie Word, Excel & Powerpoint etr, they show up in the bottum tool bar " for besides to confuse us... like he said just hold alt-f4...
