Automatic update problems post-update
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. -- 404max

I think you would do better asking in the Windows 2000 General newsgroup
