How do you unblock a program?

I have a program that checks to see if a firmware update is available.
Everytime Vista boots it tells me that it has blocked this program
from running. I can then unblock manually and then I also need to
click "allow" to get it running - absolutely ridiculous!

I have looked for a way to tell Vista that this program is fine and it
should not be blocked but I cannot find a way to do this. Is there
some way I can tell Vista not to block this program and to run it
without asking me to allow it each and every time?

Hello Al,
The link to tutorial might help you. Please read "Why are
administrative startup programs blocked". It might explain why to your
satisfaction.

That is the way to do it but if the Startup Program Unblocker doesn't work
for you here are the manual instructions that I feel are written a little
better.

1. Remove the program from the Startup folder or the Run registry key
2. Launch the Task Scheduler

e.g. Start Menu �¨ All Programs �¨ Accessories �¨ System Tools
3. From the Actions panel on the right, select Create Task...
4. Go to the Security Options on the General tab
1. Select an user account with administrative privileges
2. Select the radio button Run only when user is logged on
3. Check the box Run with highest privileges
5. Go to the Triggers tab and click New...
1. In Begin the task, select At log on
2. In the Settings options, select All users
3. In the Advanced Settings options, check the box Enabled
4. Click OK to close the dialog
6. Go to the Actions tab and click New...
1. For Action, select Start a program
2. In the Settings options, browse for the Program/Script you want to
execute on startup
3. Click OK to close the dialog
7. Go to the Settings tab
1. Check the box Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is
missed
2. Uncheck the box Stop the task if it runs longer than
8. Make any other desired settings
9. Click OK to save and close the task properties
