I hit "quit application" instead of "quit all applications" - pay attention Leslie!
Thank you for being so patient.

You have to click on the desktop and then all apps will quit.
Thanks again.

You shouldn't have to. When you made the app you didn't click Add Current Application did you, and it added Stickies to Do Not Quit?

All that hoop jumping, sheesh!!!!! Force Quit is faster. Especially if using a mouse instead of a trackpad, keyboard shortcuts, etc.

Eek! Don't do that unless an app is hung for a long time. It may need to do some bookkeeping before it quits. It can corrupt preferences.

I checked that to make sure an app was not added by mistake, nothing there.
I tried it a few times and each time it only worked when I clicked on the desktop.
Stickies was not the only app that stayed open, it was whatever app was opened last.

Strange, but true.

So the script won't run unless you click to the Finder first, then it still leaves one app open?

Not sure why it won't quit all. I just tried on another machine and quit all quits all. You're not running any anti-virus, MacKeeper, or any other useless clean my Mac product are you? You're on Mountain Lion? I tried from Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.

Well at least it's most of the way there, only one app to quit then.

All apps close as long as I click finder first. In other words, if I have 4 apps open and happen to be working in one, it will not close if I use the script. It is not a big deal for me, just happy to have found a way to close them all.

Okay, I see now. I thought one app always refused to quit no matter what.

Have a good one. smile
