What you burned on CD is not a part of the restricted area, apparently. I'd suspect Norton, too, because it seems to have locked everything out from its parent program folder. As Windows Help says, what you can try is log on as Administrator, go to start -> Run and type gpedit.msc. Check Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsFile System to see whether there's a problem access right set there. Hm. I don't have File System there. And can't find anything about it on Microsoft site. Actually, there is, you should dig around Security Configuration and Analysis in the console, which is way over my head. You can try restoring to the point before you installed Norton 2006, which should roll you back to before it messed things up (if it did), but I'm not certain whether it will remove the policy. Well, it doesn't hurt to try. :-/
