    So I opened about 55 finder windows simultaneously accidentally. I'm running Yosemite on my 2011 iMac and I wanted to find out the total size of all the folders I've selected. I selected about 55 folders in my 'pictures' folder and clicked on 'Get Info' right-click option. I expected OSX would calculate the total size of the selected folders and show me the final size. But OSX is funny in its own way - it opened 55 finder windows, totally filling up my desktop.

    There's no 'obvious' way to close all the windows and a search online revealed a key combination that does the job. In order to close multiple windows on mac (osx), simply press OPTION+COMMAND together and press W. The magic combination will close all the open finder windows at once.

    That should be a life + time saver for most of you. Tweet / Share this tip so that fellow OSX users will find it useful 😀
