error accessing an exe

[charliDMB]

I keep getting a message that Windows is blocking me from opening an exe file.
The program isn't harmful, i KNOW what it is and have used it before. I
want to open it, but it doesn't even get me an option, it just closes it.
Please help, I am extremely frustrated.

the message is
Windows found that this file is potentially harmful.
To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file.

there is no option to go around the block, I don't need it blocked, I know
what it is, I've used it with my old pc for probably 8 years, its paint shop
pro 7
