Guest TV-VCR Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I think a nice addon to SP1 before it gets rolled out (or SP2, maybe... or maybe just something through windows update) would be the option to tell Vista to not block a certain program on startup. i.e., it blocks Program A and and Program B on startup. Let's say I want it to not block Program A anymore. In the menu that pops up when you right click on the Blocked Programs would be the option "Unblock Program A and don't block this program again". It would be handy. There are a lot of non-malicious programs out there like Fraps that get blocked. ~Chris ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

It will show you how to get rid of the message and unblock the program. Shawn -- brink There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.
