Profiles lost after critical update install

Once again. I have lost my profile after applying
a "critical update"
What is with MS engineers? My entire user profile is lost
(got corrupted). Bookmarks dissappeared. Email app had
to be reconfigured along with 7 other apps. No actual
data was lost but I spent 4 hours setting my desktop to
the way it was before the critical update did whatever it
did.
Extremely disconcerting and a great waste of time.

That specific problem is extremely unusual.
Since that issue is not widely reported, start looking inside at what
may be different about your system since you seem to suggest it has
happened before to your computer.

Hmmm.. Not that I have seen this happen on the thousands of computers I
manage - but I must ask - have you looked in the Documents and Settings
folder to locate the old profile whrn this happens? What is the naming
scheme it goes with?
