    When you right-click on a file/folder/drive, the right-click menu is somehow changed by Norton 360. There is no margin on the left (dividing icons from text) in the menu and the menu seems darker and smaller. (Sorry, just a neat freak.) Any way to change this back?

    Image 1 shows you what Vista's right-click should look like.
    Image 2 shows what Norton's modded menu looks like.

    There should be an option in Norton. Have you checked there?

    Looking at the different pics, both your Zip program and Norton 360 have been installed with an option like 'shell integration'.
    Have you tried either program without that option to see which one is the culprit?
    I'm not sure if you can change this setup without uninstalling/reinstalling.
    Like Arkitekt mentioned, check Norton 360 for an option called something like 'shell integration' first.
    Cheers.
