Visual Studio - Close All Documents toolbar command

When dev'n I frequently want to close all the open documents in VS.  The right click on tab command in VS doesn't have that option, so after digging around in the customize window box I found "Window --> Close All Documents" added it to my standard toolbar and I'm golden.  Pretty simple stuff, but probably common enough to blog about.

Sweet! This should save me lots of "CTRL+F4's"! It's even more useful now that I've mapped CTRL+ALT+F4 to it (Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard, Command name Windows.CloseAllDocuments).

I found this before, and I use it all the time! I would vote for this to become a default toobar button.

anyone know 'close all tool windows'

control alt with navigation arrows works to find them, what about closing them all down?

closest I found to something useful is Window.AutoHideAll, although that isn't really what I was after
