As a footnote, I ended up wiping the hd on my test machine and doing a clean install of xp and find that Recycler/Nprotect is installed by Windows XP, not Norton, as I had supposed.
I've installed Norton AV Pro (instead of standard). The Norton Protected Reclye bin is disabled now as recommended. Cool. Thanks for all the tips.
The reason I did a clean install is not on account of this problem but because I run an unscanned exe file (from a questionable source) that had a SubSeven trojan in it. It zapped my MBR which caused Power Quest Drive image to fail to run, either from Windows or from the dos diskettes Error #91. By the time I discovered how to fix that, I'd done so many things to the system (which was still working fine, by the way) that I decided to bite the bullit and do a clean install. --afterall it's my test machine.
