Alt-F4 is standard for close/quit on Windows.  Using a Mac keyboard, it
would be Option-F4.  Another method to quit on Windows (using Internet
Explorer as an example), with the IE window in focus, do the following:

Press the alt key, and release it.  You will see the menu bar highlight, and
underlined letters become visible.

The File menu will have an underlined "F".
Press "F" alone (no modifier key).

The file menu opens, and you can see the "Close" option with an underlined
"C".
Press "C" alone (no modifier key).

The window closes.
