Vista - "Windows has blocked some startup programs"

"Windows has blocked some startup programs"

Vista Home Premium works perfectly in all respects -
it's stable, fast, and secure. HOWEVER:

On boot and coming out of standby, I get the subject
alert. The alert then fades, leaving a "blocked startup
programs" icon in the notification tray. I can click on
the alert or the icon, and see what Windows is blocking
- which is fine with me - but cannot stop those alerts
or change the status of those programs to ENABLE (grayed
out).

I know it's inconsiderate to bring this inconsequential
issue to the table when most people here have bigger
problems, but it's annoying.

I have a couple of those, the problem is those programs are not 100%
Vista compatable. You will have to do a manual start for each of those
programs after every reboot until the program gets rewritten.
