How do i recover a PowerPoint File if it was not saved and the computer shut
down due to automatic update?  I did not have AutoRecover specified.

Only chance is to search for ppt*.tmp. Not much hope though.

Tried it John and could not find anything. I did see the NTUSER.DAT file and
am wondering if it may be there?

I'm afraid it's gone Pat.

Turn on autorecovery for the future! There's also an excellent sequential
save add in

No, and I wouldn't go poking at that file either.
