they dont work - just close the finder and re-open it with all the 200 windows ?

any ideas ?

 

[christm]

i have tried restarting and shutting down but no luck.

HELP !

 

[immdb]

Hold the option key down and click on the close window button (the red one)
it will close all open windows (works in applications also)

??? Maybe APPLE+W 200 times...

 

[immdb]

if they close individually and not the way that I indicate, then you have other problems.

If you prefer the mouseless way, command+option+w

 

[christm]

ok thanks.

 

[christm]

done !

thanks - use the comman - option - w

I'm glad that worked for you... I was concerned some goof-ball was going to come in here and tell you to repair permissions or some such happy horsecrap!

I did something similar a long time ago..

Here's what it looked like.

To the credit of OSX.. everything still ran perfectly smooth

 

[MaDDoG]

Yeah...good question...what were you doing prior to all the windows opening?

 

[RiDE]

Below is NOT mine.. but it is a WHOLE LOT of open items...
