An odd one this... I resorted to loading a DOS version of NORTON. 
The  disk  had  been  Windows  95  and  the  DOS  6.22  had  been 
reinstalled.  All  seemed fine, only about 10 files in  the  root 
directory .. until I ran Norton and it spotted long filenames  in 
the root directory - and asked if I wanted to remove them.

I should have looked for hidden files I guess..
