These are quick access group files - generated and used by Norton Desktop for
Windows. You are correct - they duplicate the existing groups at creation
time - also any setup programs that add groups/items will affect them.

If you are not using NDW's Quick Access functions - then you can delete these
files - they will be recreated next time you select Quick Access from the
NDW menu.

Regards,


Peter
