| | Mysterious "Blocked startup programs" Notification I am having trouble figuring out what is actually being blocked at startup. Recently, when I restart my computer, "Blocked startup programs" notification icon appears in the notification area at the right of the taskbar. When I right-click the icon, I have the option to "Show or remove blocked startup programs" or to "Run blocked program". If I click the "Show or remove" option, I get a System Configuration Utility dialog box with checkbox lists of Startup Items, but no indication of which item I should unblock. On the other hand, if I run the pointer over the "Run blocked program" line, I get pop-up line showing the multi-colored Microsoft shield and the words "Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor". When I click that line, I get User Account Control dialog box to Allow or Cancel p_981116.exe Unidentified publisher C:\Windows\p_981116.exe/Q:A I'm not sure if this is important or not, but the blocked startup program Notification is annoying. What is the best fix? Thanks. Bill |

One can do whatever he or she wants to after that but stop it from executing. That's the best move is to stop it from executing. You don't let something run on the system, and you don't know what it is or how it got there. Quote: > > "Mr. Arnold" <MR.
