The full basket is an icon problem. In Explorer, click View, Refresh. If this doesn't work, you'll need to delete the icon cache. Find the file ShellIconCache in the Windows folder and delete it. Windows will notice it's gone and create a new file. The new file will solve the problem. Cheers, PW.

If your Norton DiskDoctor repairs don't "stick", try selecting the manual repair option and select a solution other than the default. Cheers, PW. Disclaimer: I don't have Norton 2000. With the older version I use, I get the type of error messages you're seeing with WinDoctor, so I suggested what I'd do if the problem were on my machine. This may not work on yours.

marty "when running DiskDoctor (Norton 2000), get the same error every time" lots of doctors to keep track of here. <g> we're talking windoctor, disk doctor, system doctor.... and now would be a perfect time for an "apple a day" joke, wouldn't it? anyway, i'm thinking that you have your doctors overlapped or swapped, and that you really are referring to windoctor, not disk doctor. is that correct? if that is the case, first take a look at my post to bob #reply-15717384 that deals with ignoring persistent problems in windoc. maybe that will be what you wish to pursue. it might help, though, since this is a registry error that keeps popping up, if you go into cleansweep and under the 'advanced' section, choose 'registry sweep'. this is a very handy component of norton utilities that cleans unused registry entries. it just may remove your reoccurring key command thing. pw also provided good advice when she proposed that you examine the manual options for repairing the problem, or even the other 'non-automatic' options. i frequently have to choose a repair option other than what windoctor selects, due in part to my three drive partitions and all the overlapping shortcut paths. hope this helps :) mark
