Cocktail is an app that allows you to tweak some things, it will also do things like clear your cache. You can look at the processes on your mac by going in to activity monitor, you will find it in the utilities folder.

Mike, What is cocktail exactly?

Also, how can I learn more about the processes on the Mac and what they do. I am curious about the comparisons between the PC processes, which I know like the back of my hand, and the Mac side of the coin, which is all still very new to me.

If anyone is curious, I was able to figure this out. Even when I only had finder running, voiceover would still say there were 2 running apps. The notification center is considered an app, even though you cannot command tab to it, or select it from the dock. Since I never use this feature, I used an application called cocktail to disable it, now the number of running applications is spoken correctly.
