Red Shutdown button in lower right

Why do I get a small red button in the lower right corner on the windows 7 Welcome screen where I log in? The choices are shutdown, restart, hibernate. Does this always appear with Windows 7 ? Or, only in certain situations?

Also is it normal to see an ease of access icon on this screen also? (Lower Left)
Any way to disable this from appearing?

Yes. Both are normal.

There are ways of disabling Ease of access icon, but removing it involves hacking system files. It may not work on 64-bit either.
