Multiple questions...

Question 1.
This is a simple one. What is the "Run" command to go to the boot menu
in Windows Xp Home Edition. The menu that includes safemode, startup
options, and all of that good stuff.

Question 2.
I have computer, with a single partition, that I need to be able to
boot into Linux (undecided on which distro so far) and DOS. It is
quite unprobable to back up my files are format, as I have about 100 gb
of data stored on it. Should I go through the complicated process of
installing 3 OS's on a single partition, or is there a simpler way...

Question 3.
I need to edit Windows... there are some missing features that I wish
to have some fun trying to impliment. How would I edit the OS?

Question 4.
Same computer with about 100gb of data, I believe I may have a trojan.
If I stay connected to the internet, my computer is shutdown every time
I do something like type an important password (IE my swiss bank).
McAfee seems to think I'm fine. I was downloading a stationary, hidden
Keylogger for my computer (kids...), and it did what we all hate: As
soon as the EXE was extracted from the ZIP, the file just up and
disappeared. I have seen this with many viruses/trojans, and really
don't understand what this is, and how it is done. I never ran it. It
isn't there in command prompt or safe mode. Backing up and
reinstalling would have two issues: I might back up the trojan/virus
and 100 gb to backup is crazy.

These are all on a single business computer (owned by me).
