Woot! I finally got it all worked out. Here is the solution (2 solutions needed which are posted on Page 1 and 3 of this thread at CastleCops: http://computercops.biz/postt78792.html)

The easiest way to summarize this is to do the following:

Open up your Registry and search for the following string (making sure "Match whole string only" is unchecked): "Programs\Norton" <= Also without the quotes.

You will see that whatever comes up, the reference to the default location will be there, just modify the value of each place that has the old reference with the new reference (for me it was "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Utilities\Norton AntiVirus"), and that should do it.

The locations where I found the old references were in:
Quote:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\932EEA56C5A47C8499E284F46ACC2016\FC6 B5F6CC906E82478F6AC3871C620B1
AND

Quote:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus\ShortcutPath
The first location it was found may be different for anyone else who is looking to do what I did. Just do a search for what I stated above and you should be fine.

Just make sure you make a backup of your registry before doing this. I take no responsibility if something goes terribly wrong.
