Re: start up blocked programs

Open Windows Defender to the Software Explorer, and make the setting there.

Re: start up blocked programs

click start, type in msconfig and hit enter.
it will open the system configuration utility.
if you havent messed with that before it should be on normal startup under the general tab.
go to the services tab and hit enable all. then go to the startup tab and enable them all.
that should get rid of the message.

That is a defect in Vista.
Increased security they say...but in my opinion, any program that is set to
run at startup, with elevated admin rights, should run without
Vista/UAC/Defender over-riding my decision.
The easiest way around this obvious bug in 'Vista BetaSP1 RTM' it is to run
the program as a scheduled task.

I wish MS hadn't hired so many of those laid off AOL programmers, they
screwed the entire OS up.

Re: start up blocked programs

I hear you. But consider the case if Vista automatically allows programs to
run elevated at startup. A malware (even if running in non-elevated state)
places a rogue program with the requireAdministrator flag set it the
manifest, in the per-user startup group. The rogue program will then run
with elevated privileges during startup. This is very dangerous.
