Click on programs, then Search, 'all file and folders' and put the word 'symantec' in the search field whatever it picks up 'select all' and then delete. Then empty recycle bin.
I've got a really good little program which allows for reasonably safe registry editing as it makes a back ups in case of cock-ups.if you want a copy (it is freeware) I'll zip and mail it.

I don't use Norton anymore as I don't like anything that seems to take over my PC. I now use AVG free which is much less intrusive as an anti-virus program and as it says it is free. I also use Firefox as a browser as it seems to load web pages much quicker than Internet Explorer.
Why is it that all the Microsoft products want to take your control of the PC away from you?

Thanks for the offer Dick. I actually went int the registry with my Brother (who is a CCIE Certified Cysco something.. ) and we took it all off but thats when I got the problems with excel.

Its working much better now but when I get home i have an extrernal 320GB hard disk so will down load my files and wipe this one clean before reloading.

PS. I havn't forgotten about your pannier key but still havn't managed to change the lockes to my ignition key settings. This ws somewhat delayed by my lad pulling the keys out of both the locks whilst I wasn't there and collecting up all the leafs and springs "carefully".........kids
