StartUp program blocked - how to force an unblock

I have a utility that I want to run when Vista (Home Premium, SP1) starts
up. The program is in the StartUp location and everytime I turn on the
computer I see an icon in the System Tray informing me of a blocked program.

I then click my way through and tell Vista to let the program run. How can
I force this through so I can avoid all this mouse clicking?

Thanks, DH

Hi Dave,

Try this, first remove what you have done so that this program does not start at start up

Then Cick on Start Orb,
right click computer,
click manage, accept the uac prompt
click on the left hand pane, task scheduler,
click on the right hand pane, create task
under the General tab
Give your task a name and put a tick in the box run with highest privileges
under the Triggers tab
click on New
Select Begin the task At log on
under the Actions tab
click on New
click on Browse and highlight the .exe you want to start, click on Open and then ok
click on ok
thats it done

Pooch, thanks for the detailed explanation! I now have a much better
overview on how to do this. Thanks, Dave
