Sometimes, while browsing the Internet, people open a large number of windows, expecting to return to viewing this information. However, then they give up this idea, and then it is useful to be able to immediately close all the windows.
Opening windows
The window that appears on the computer screen during work is a way of organizing the information that the user is currently dealing with. At the same time, the window system for organizing a computer interface has now become so widespread that a variety of computer programs, Internet pages and other resources are designed as windows.
The need to open a large number of windows at the same time is caused by several reasons. The most common of these is information search, during which a sequential transition from one window to another is made in an attempt to obtain information that most closely matches the search query. In this case, if the user for one reason or another does not close the already viewed windows, after a while a large number of open sections will appear on his desktop.
Another possible reason for this situation is the simultaneous work with several arrays of information, implying parallel access to each of them. In this case, the presence on the desktop of several open windows during the period of implementation of this work is a necessity for the user to save time on reopening each of them at that moment. when there is a need for the information it contains.
Closing windows
However, at some point the need to keep the viewed windows open for the user disappears. In such a situation, he has two main options for completing his work. The first of them is to close open windows manually by clicking on the "cross" symbol, which is usually located in the upper right corner of any window. However, if the number of open windows is several dozen, this process can be quite laborious and time consuming.
Therefore, the developers of software used in modern computers have created the possibility of using the so-called "hot keys" - combinations of buttons on the keyboard, pressing which causes certain necessary actions. One of these combinations allows one to simultaneously close all windows open on the computer desktop: to do this, press the Alt key, and then, while holding it, press the F4 key.
Execution of this command usually causes a menu to appear, prompting the user to confirm the intention to close all open windows, since the system designers assume that the specified combination can be pressed accidentally. If you are sure of your decision, you should confirm it by pressing the corresponding button, after which all windows will be closed.
