Go to Start > Run, type Msconfig, and uncheck everything pertaning to Norton on the Startup Tab.

You may find Nprotect there ( even twice).

Click OK, and reboot.

Sorry, I think I read you wrong.

If your recycle bin won't function right, lets try restoring the defaults:

First open your registry Start > Run > Regedit), and delete the following two subkeys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]

If you're unconfortable editing the registry manually, copy the following bold text to Notepad, save as NoRec.reg, and doubleclick, click 'OK', then answer 'yes' to the prompt to merge the data into the registry:

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]

Now you need to enter the correct registry entries:

Copy the following bold text to Notepad, save as Rec.reg, and merge into the registry the way you did with the previous regfile.

REGEDIT4

Subsequently, reboot in order to effectively register the changes.

Good luck, Tony
