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.

Great, but Defender will not unblock the target program and I still get the
'windows blocked program' message.
