A. if you mean the whole file, edit, etc. gui, i think its very important to keep things the same. like i know that if i press cntrl-c in any ms program, it will copy the selected stuff to the clipboard and cntrl-z will undo and cntrl-s will save my work. so i dont have to learn and memorize new shortcuts or where the menu items are if i start using a new program. this makes it very easy to use new software. imagine if you had to look for a button on the screen everytime yot want to save or close the window. it would slow you down alot. especially if you had to switch between 20 different programs. youd have to memorize the menus for all those programs. once you learn the ms menu system, you never have to think when you want to open a new doc… [cont.]

To have the option for selecting different accounts on boot up, go into the Control Panel and click the "Change how users log on". Turn on the Welcome Screen. Normally a computer will not go into Safe Mode on boot up unless you either select Safe Mode from the F8 menu, or you have an error during the boot up that is forcing the computer into Safe Mode. Try turning on the computer, and repeatedly press the F8 key until you get a screen with the Safe Mode option. From that screen select to boot up normally.
