Probably a noob question? How to close all finder windows? Shortcut?

You know, you have a few HD's, folders open, all finder windows, no app's. ..

Wondering if there is a command to close all the windows instead of clicking on the red "X" to close each window.

Thanks

hold option key while closing one window to close all (either option-click the close widget or option-apple-w). works with minimizing as well. add a shift when minimizing to slow down the animation (or just use the shift to slow down minimizing one window)
