Is there a command to close all open programs with one
shortcut key. I remember someone using this a few years
back. Just as I can use "Windows+M" to minimise all
windows, "ALT+F4" to close current active window, I would
like to close all open windows with a shortcut.

Please help

Thanks in Advance.

One solution a bit complicated:
Uses cmdow from www.commandline.co.uk to do window handling
and Hotkeycontrol to (re-)assign windows-key in combination with "c"
http://www.digital-miner.com/hkcontrol.html

Assign this batch to WIN+C in hkcontrol:
::CloseAll.Cmd:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
@echo off
cmdow @ /HID
For /F %%A in ('cmdow /B /T') do cmdow %%A /CLS
exit

Thanks for the hint Jerold,
due to it's versatility and only 6k more in size I prefer cmdow.

I'd like to know an easier way to (re-)assign commands to keys in
combination with the windows key, but found only that hkcontrol.

Thanks again Jerold,
I use an old version of fastkey (http://www.tucows.com/preview/325038.html)
that works on all NT-based platforms.

The feature list makes it an alternative to hkcontrol which also runs
on 98,Me - nt isn't mentioned.

But I thought more of a reghack or similar to have the windows-key
available in defining hotkeys when creating links.
