Either your previously installed Norton applications or the removal tools
you used caused all of these problems. It's time to cut your losses:
Back-up your personal data, then format & reinstall Windows.

Do NOT install any more Norton applications on the machine!

Hello Robear,

I am glad to say that installing IE7 restored all linking facilities from
Desktop, Outlook Express, whatnot.

Also all Favorites were also restored.

I will drink some champagne tonight to this completely happy end, wish I
could send you a "flute" filled to the brim!
