Closing all open Excel files without saving












1















I've got about 50 Excel documents open. None of them are saved nor do I want to save any of them.



If I right click Excel in Taskbar and click Close All Windows I can achieve my goal but then need to go to each individual document to click "Don't Save". Is there a quicker way?
