<p>Want to toss out the windows in your current application session, preventing them from reopening again via the Resume feature in OS X Lion? <strong>Hold down the Option key while going to Quit</strong> and you will see the option to “Quit and Discard Windows”. </p>

<p>When you quit with that option, you can relaunch the app and Resume will not relaunch any past windows. This is a great choice if you are browsing the web with a lot of tabs that you don’t want open again, and for a variety of other apps where the previously opened windows wouldn’t do you any good to automatically reopen. </p>

<p>Discarding windows this way is not a permanent change to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/mac-os-x-10-7/">Lion</a> or the app, although you can <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/18/disable-mac-os-x-lion-resume-window-restore/">disable window Resume</a> completely if you don’t like the feature. Additionally, you can <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/17/delete-specific-application-saved-states-from-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-resume/">delete individual apps saved states</a> after the fact.</p>
