out on the keyboard:
Try "Alt+F4" instead.

ONLY if the Desktop has focus. Otherwise you'll wind up closing
programs that are forefront.

Logoff is going to close them anyway.

Maybe you haven't used Alt-F4 with a lot of open programs before, but
unless the Desktop has focus, it doesn't log off they way you're
thinking, one at a time.

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off -> Uncheck
use the Welcome screen. Hit the Apply Options button. Close User Accounts. Hit
Ctrl + Alt + Del. You should now see the Windows Security dialog.

Keep in mind that you will now have to hit Ctrl + Shift + Esc when you want to
launch Task Manager.

Good luck

Actually that's EXACTLY why I suggested it, and I use it most of the
time to exit Windows, 98 through XP.
