Right. If you have fast user switching enabled, you can go to where
your name appears (normally top right of the screen) and select "Login
Window" from the options that appear.

This doesn't log you out, but returns the computer to the login
window, so someone else can log in (and you can get back to your
desktop and control over your running processes with your password).


If you log out, that will normally stop all the programs you've
started in your login session. (There are ways around this, but
probably what I just described is a better solution for you.)
