Background applications

How do I find out what is running in the background?  Windows seems to have many features which I will never need.  I understand why they are there.  Some people want machines to run alarm clocks or special tracking apps or special message apps.  I don't want these things.  They take up memory, they bottle up my CPU, and they generally irritate me without adding one shred of value.  How do I delete those things I do not need?  How do I know which of items on these lengthy lists of services are useless to me?
