Why is my option key+w not closing finder windows?

Just as the title says, when I press Option+W my finder windows won't close. Still works fine for all other programs though???

Thanks for helping a newbie

Edit: What the heck now it works fine again... o.k. now how do i delete this thread?

Supposed to be command-W.
