I have Win XP running on my machine with automatic upgrades from Microsoft
enabled. A couple of days ago the machine downloaded an update and I
foolishly installed it via the little shield on the toolbar.

This made a complete mess of my desktop, setting the appearance of programs
to a mucky pink colour which I hate and I can not get it back to what it
was, a nice gentle green colour which was called Spruce. Other changes to
the desktop occurred. All this happened without any warning.
I am not a happy bunny :-((((((((((((((((((((((((

Desktop -> appearance -> Windows classic style -> Spruce
was a nice gentle green, and now is a mucky gray.

Not only that, a major function of Internet Explorer has been deleted.
I use a Dial Up Line and before when IE was launched and the machine was
not connected to the Internet a prompt to dial my ISP appeared. This
function has been deleted and when IE is launched a "Page can not be
Displayed" warning appears and I have to work around the problem with
start -> connect to.

How do I get my machine back to what it was?

newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

Revert to a restore point?
