I had a program I wanted to start-up when Vista started, which was being
blocked every time.

This is how I got Vista to not be block the program anymore.

1) Created a short-cut for the program and made sure Run as Administrator
was not checked-on.

2) The short-cut was placed in the All Users Programs Start-up folder.

3) I went to Windows Defender/Tools/Software Explorer/Startup Programs/All
User button, Add button and added the short-cut for the program.

It took a couple of logins, but Vista stop blocking the program and now it
starts every time I login to the machine.

isnt an alternative to just turn of UAC?
 
Hi David,

No, I'm afraid that UAC will not affect the start up programs and their
blocked notifications. You could turn that option off in Windows
Defender to stop the notifications, but it will not help if it is
msconfig giving you the blocked notification.

Windows Defender :

msconfig : (second way)

Why would I want to turn it off? There are other ways of doing things if one
knows what he or she is doing other than turning something off.

In this case, with turning UAC off, it is just a comp out.

BTW, I see you got some kind of an answer from another poster. And I'll add
this, when I put that short-cut into All Users/Programs/Start-up and using
WD, that short-cut to the program automatically showed-up in the Start tab
for MSconfig.

In all seriousness, I'd ask you why you want to leave UAC on. I find it
more of a PITA than a useful means of protecting my PC. I'm not asking
to be argumentative either--I just find UAC to be more bother than the
value of it's "protective" function.

What do you want me to say?

It's your problem not mine. I don't have a problem with UAC being enabled.
If you want to turn UAC off then turn it off, because there is nothing
stopping you from doing that. After all, it's your computer, and you do
with it what you want.

I think you're about to make much to do about nothing about your opinions
that I don't want to hear. Everyone's got an opinion and they are a dime a
dozen.

There is no discussion and there is no debate, and I don't want to hear
about your dozen.

Geez, all I asked was why you want to leave it on. Couldn't you merely
have given an answer to that simple question instead of getting all bent
out of shape? jeez! (shaking my head in wonderment at such anger at a
simple question of curiosity) I had already mentioned I wasn't intending
to be argumentative--i'm merely curious, dude!

Hi Dave,

Yeah UAC can be a pain sometimes, but it can be helpful if a program
tries to use administrator privileges without you knowing it. There is
a way to leave UAC on for the protection and turn off most of the
annoying pop-ups though. Just elevate the administrators privilege
level. See this link for how to do it for all Vista versions if your
interested.

thanks again, Shawn. I read the page, but I'm not following how
changing the prompting provides the same protection (ie how is the user
alerted to a possible errant program action?). sorry to be dense!

Here is my answer <plank> that's a soft logical <plonk> now move along and
find someone else to harass.
 
Why would a person, who wants the maximum amount of security possible for
his computer, NOT want to leave UAC turned on?

UAC has been beaten to death. Do as you want for your computer.

I, and most others, will leave it as it is.

Because UAC is a pain in the ass, dumb as a rock, and a productivity
killer.
