Abstract: A computer system with read-only memory and permanent read/write memory provides the user with the capability of loading an alternate operating system at the conclusion of a session without turning the computer off and then on. A customization word with a system request (SR) bit is located in read/write memory and is set by routines located in ROM upon user request. A reinitialization is then forced which resets the SR bit and brings up the machine in the alternate operating system located in external memory on a diskette or fixed disk. A flexible initialization system is also disclosed providing customized initialization in a variety of operating systems and applications. The preferred customized initialization is maintained for future system start-ups due to the resetting of the SR bit.

Abstract: A computer system is provided which includes a plurality of Work Areas. Each Work Area represents an individual user's computer system preferences. The computer system preferences include application programs and operating system preferences. A Work Area Manager is provided to allow a user to navigate the plurality of work Areas. All Work Area settings are saved to a Work Area Settings Profile file which is stored in a nonvolatile memory. A novel embodiment of the Work Area Manager employed as a Desktop Manager in a Multiple Desktop computer system is also provided.
