Yes, any programs you see on your taskbar are running.
If you have them "open" then that would make them active, if they are minimized they are still running, but only in the background.
To see a list of all running programs (active and inactive), press "CTRL + ALT + DEL" to view a task manager. From that window you can end any processes you don't want running.
