My Vista computer blocks one of my programs at start up. How do I go about
unblocking this program?

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.
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.
