ArcMap creates unnecessary file types when saving shape file (.cpg .prj, lock, etc.)

When saving shape files, geocoding results or even exporting data in ArcMap, many different files are created. Most of the time when I save a shape file, I want only the shape file and not a .cpg, .prj, lock file, etc. Saving all these different data sets and layers in ArcMap soon creates an eruptive and cataclysmic explosion of numerous data files in my folders, making them cluttered and practically useless. IS there a way to tell ArcMap (desktop version) using either the UI or python code, to only save one file when saving shape files, dBase tables, etc.
