Richard, alt-f4 should close any application; I don't know why it's not working for you, unless perhaps windows thinks your control key or your shift key is stuck down (sometimes that happens to me); several taps on each of them usually sets things to right.
whenever you close an app though, it doesn't mean you'll go to the desktop; it usually activates another window, but if there isn't one, you may or may not end up on the desktop. to force yourself to be on the desktop, use the windows key and D, or windows key and M (which also minimizes all windows, so I think it's a better choice). hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: richard kurlander [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2010 5:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: closing applications rich kurlander here whenever I hit alt f4 on a application it doesn't go to the desktop. for example when I close ie8 I hear no link or control when I do an altshift t I hear no active application If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
