Closing all open Excel files without saving

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?

You can terminate all excel processes using the following command in command prompt:

taskkill /im excel.exe /f

Press close button while holding Shift key, then press Don't save (still holding Shift).
