I appreciate the answer, was not sure how flexible the Norton options were
as far as individual folders are concerned, and you are of course correct
about the risks but to me that's similar to database or pst or dbx (OE)
files, it's the only viable option since the problem is the software being
at the mercy of the OS. :)
