6. In the next screen, touch Running on the right.
7. This next step can take a while, because it lists all of the processes
running. Scroll through the list to find the app you want to close, and touch
that.
8. There may be more than one sub process listed. Touch Stop for each one.
9. You're back at the previous list now, scroll until you find the next app you
want to close. Touch Stop.
10. If greeted with a "Stop system service?" dialog, touch OK.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 for each of the other apps you want to close.
I have installed "Advanced Task Killer", which does allow me to quickly

You're right about most of the steps, but I can reduce the number of
them a bit. I keep the Settings app on my Home screen.
1. Touch Settings
2. Touch Applications.
3. Touch Manage
4. (Touch Running) - most of the time I can skip this since the app is
usually in the default list. That avoids the delay while the OS creates
a new list.
5. Touch the app, touch Stop.
6. Repeat step 5 for any others
But: you shouldn't be closing processes on Android, it's counter
productive. "Running" apps is a misnomer; they use zero resources, and
the OS will close them automatically as necessary. That may be why it
takes so many steps to do it; in practice it is almost never a good
idea. Task killers are now considered harmful and to be avoided:
