"Date Accessed" Time Stamps constantly updated. Is it Norton?

Does Norton affect the "Date Accessed" timestamp associated with files?   Some program on my system (Windows XP) is updating the Date Accessed timestamp constantly, even though I am not doing anything.   As far as I know, I am not running any automatic system scans through Norton.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi TConnor,

 

It's a Windows XP thing having nothing to do with Norton.  If you Google "XP date accessed" you might find some workarounds posted in some of the Windows forums.
