Dean & others:

So no has a way of fixing windows to allow you rights to delete entries in
your registry. I did not have trouble taking out norton and symantec
entries. I may have uninstalled and then deleted anything found including
the shared. I guess, I was lucky. Every unit on my network has been Norton
free for almost a year now. Begs the question why I am not allowed to
delete entries from my unit. Microsoft strikes again. Linux anyone?

Thanks
