Never Seen This Before

Hi,

I just had a user turn his windows 2000 computer on this morning, it then
prompted to install some updates, then it wanted to be restarted and it was.
After rebooting it acted like it was a fresh install. All quick launch items
were gone, internet connection needed to be resetup, desktop items
dissapeared, outlook account one!! I then looked under "Doc's and Settings"
and noticed the computer had created a new folder with the employees Name and
put all (I think) his stuff there. The original account "W413" was still
there but had no data in it. Does anyone have clue what the %$#% happened?? I
was able to get most of his stuff back and heard horror stories about windows
update before but........

Thanks for any time and insight you may have,
C

See if this helps:
