Re: Blocked start-up programs

I have the same problem and I'm getting tired of seeing the message "Windows has block start-up programs - click here to view programs."

The program is Webshots and I have been using it for years because they have this great photo I love and use for my desktop. It's the only thing I use Webshots for... that one photo for my desktop and Webshots wont let me use it unless I use their software to display it.

In Webshots you can disable the tray icon which I have always done when using Windows xp because I don't want it to run and check the web for new daily photos. I have done this with Vista x64 also but it didn't work... the tray icon loaded anyways even if I had unticked ''Run at starup'' so I had to remove it from the startup list using Windows Defenders. It is no longer in WD and shows as disabled when using msconfig, and the program doesn't run at startup, but the message Windows has blocked... keeps on appearing.

I did what JB above said and created the task and now I get the message anyway and Webshots also launches at startup, which is not what I want.

What I would like to be able to do is keep Webshots without having it launch at startup and without having the message ''window has blocked a program'' appearing all the time.

Is that possible?
