If they're being recreated by the operating system or by some installed software, then they probably need to be there. Norton does not always know how to interpret what it finds. What it sees as an invalid path to a file, may indeed be the way the programmer intended it. I do not, nor ever have used Registry cleaners, system "cleaning" tools of any kind, and I do NOT encounter types of problems that many users report here.
