Re: Windows XP
If you use the classic start up screen in win8 instead of the metro screen there's little difference between the xp screen and the classic win 8 screen. I bought my wife a new machine with win 8 installed and there's been few problems. The main issues were with outdated applications which wouldn't run on win 8 so we had to buy a newer version. Other than that, it was a relatively easy transition from xp to win 8.

I think you have to have win 8.1 installed for this to work, which is a free upgrade to win 8.
Right click on the taskbar, select Properties. Under the Navigation tab, look for the setting that says, "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start." Check-mark this setting to enable this feature. Now you will no longer boot directly to the Start Screen.

Re: Windows XP
Did they add the Start button yet back to Win 8?

Re: Windows XP
it's some weird little pop-up thing in the lower left that does not say 'start,' and does not take you to a start menu on this one, so no, i don't think.

What is your system?
Try downloading Spybot and regularly update and immunize

I'm not sure if there's a way to disable apps entirely. What app are you wanting to disable?
