When I turn on my computer running Ubuntu 16.10, I only see my name with the Unity 8 symbol.
When I type the password it directs me to Unity 8 desktop environment.
How can I return to the regular Ubuntu desktop environment?

Click the Unity 8 symbol, and you'll get a list of installed DEs, for example:
From there you can select your preferred DE.
Click on the little 8 in the login screen and select Ubuntu (Default). Then log in line you always do and you're back at Unity 7.
