Thanks Sean for the reply.  Yes I wasn't thinking that much about it at the time.  Thing is I did have option-command-w before and it was no problem.  I'm not using it for Close All.  And the Close All that is just appearing has no key equivalent.  Since I had option-command-w before and it was ok it seems as I added more menu items somewhere along the line the Close All just appears by itself.  And now by removing the option-command-w from my own menu item it makes the Close All go away.  Anyways is there a workaround for this to make the Close All from appearing?  Update:  I thought doing it by code fixed the issue but I was mistaken... :-(

Rick

Cmd-Option-W is the standard key equiv for Close All.  Go to the Finder,
open the File menu, the toggle the option key.  See also:
