Allowed a windows update as per prompt and now cannot open anyrthing on the desktop such as firefox browser...it just prompts me to open file with a 'recommended' program and lists microsoft stuff like media player etc. or search web for suitable etc. it's hopeless. Even a click on word or outlook returns application not found. What has happened?Help!!!

Try to do a system restore to a time before the updates were installed. If that doesn't work, you may be able to uninstall the update from the control panel/programs and features.
