You don't need to close the Apps, they become suspended when you leave them. All the Applications in the Accessories are in Apps window, click search and click Apps in the right of the screen. HTH.

When you switch to Metro tiles, you can click the Desktop and switch off WMP. To access "Apps windows", move the cursor to the bottom left corner, click search then click Apps on the right side pop up Pane( second pic).
