System resets things after MS updates

I have noticed that some things keep getting reset after some MS updates are performed.
Specifically I have my desktop background set to do a slide show of the wallpaper, every so often after an upgrade this is reset to no longer do the slide show, I must activate it again.
Another item is that in folder options i prefer to have each folder open in a new window, this has been turned off and I need to go back on turn it on again and again.

Has anyone else noticed these annoyances?

No problem here...

My screen saver gets turned off too ... so you're not the only one, ebohatch
