Well it isn't going to do that now is it? Norton do what you want it to do - it only does what it was told to do when installed. Seems like a registry hack to me unless you can enlighten me on the Switch off routine (I think it is already OFF but I'll check) Then can you give me the chkdsk switches /f does nothing although NDD tells me about the index probs but not all the nprotect files are there.
