“Quit All Applications” quits all your applications in one step, and is designed to be completely unobtrusive. When you select “Quit All Applications”, each of your applications are told to quit, no questions asked, just like when you select “Restart” or “Shut Down”.
Installation:

You can quit the Finder (along with all your applications) by pressing either the Command Key or the Control Key when you launch “Quit All Applications”. The Finder will automatically relaunch. And if you hold down the command and option keys when the Finder relaunches, the Desktop file will be rebuilt.
Should “Quit All Applications” ever fail to quit itself (an event which has Never occured during testing!), just type command-period to quit.
Quit All is FreeWare, and may be distributed without charge.

Technical Note:
---------------
“Quit All Applications” sends a 'quia' AppleEvent to the Finder, which then kills all processes, including those that do not support AppleEvents. “Quit All Applications” does not kill background jobs. “Quit All Applications” was developed using Symantec Think C 6.0.1.
