I had an odd thing happen this morning when I booted my Windows 7 computer. My Links toolbar on the taskbar was missing. I right clicked on the taskbar and it was locked as I had it set, but the Links toolbar was unchecked, so I checked it.
It restored the toolbar, but my links were gone, so I went to do a System Restore. I found a restore point from two days ago (I didn't have the computer turned on yesterday.) which showed a Windows Update. But I have Windows Update turned off! I checked the settings and it was off.
I did the System Restore and all is now OK, but why would it have done an update if the updates were turned off?
