After installing the early February collection of automatic updates on
Windows XP Home, powering off the machine, and powering it back on again, I
found my Windows environment to be markedly different: modern (not classic)
start menu, many items misssing from start menu, many desktop icons missing,
others not in their usual places, Symantec Anti-Virus failed on launch, and
many more.

Fortunately, a Start - Turn off computer - Restart restored the machine to
its familiar configuration.
