Is there any way to completely close all the open applications without lists and specific window close?
Just a general kill all apps.

It's the button marked "power" on your computer's case. ;)
 
Just kidding. No, I don't think there is any way to just kill all apps. If there was, it would be a little annoying, since it would probably kill Explorer too and so the whole screen would suddenly go blank. Also some apps run as services and killing them could make your system unstable depending on what is running.
 
I don't mean the system processes, just the open apps. Like if I have IE and Calculator up, it'll kill just those to programs. But never mind, I just created a simple task manager.
