Default Automatic update problems post-update

Saw my post was in the wrong area right after I sent. Please forgive.

Last week I was prompted for new updates and did the typical install.
Once
the update completed I was prompted to restart my computer. I did, but it
never finished shutdown. After approx. 30 minutes I took it down with the
power button.
The next day when I started back up, it had lost the user association
because files I use daily were missing from my Desktop. I have tried
changing user profiles with no luck. I am running Windows 2000 and
version
6.0.26000.0000IS of IE (Q903235). Interestingly, my other home computer
failed to completely shut down today when I did the Windows update. I
reluctanly powered it off but the reboot worked fine with no missing
files.
How can I get my original settings back? I work from home and have lost a
lot of valuable information-by "lost" I mean I can't access it any longer.
Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
