Blocked?

How do I stop the message that keeps popping up: "Windows has blocked a
startup program" after I changed a setting under msconfig?

I had program I wanted to start-up at login, which Vista kept popping that
message. I put a short-cut for the application in All Users Start-up folder,
I removed the Run as Admin check off of the short-cut, and then I went to
Windows Defender and made an entry for Start-up for the short-cut.

There were no more blocked messages after that about the application at
start-up. It just starts up now and Vista doesn't block it. It took me
awhile to figure that s*it out, Prior to that, Vista was always blocking the
program, and I had to tell it to let the program run.

It didn't happen right away that it stopped blocking the program, but it
finally did kick in after a couple of logins.

This may not relate to your problem, but someone else will see this post
that is having the need to stop the blocked message for something they want
started and system login.

Not at my vista system right now, but I think you right click it or click it
and it gives you the option to run it. It then gives you the old warning
that says something changed and you click the box to stop it from showing
you that warning just like you did in XP when you changed config in
MSconfig.

For future reference, I find using Defender to stop programs from running on
startup is far superior to using msconfig. Everytime I have used msconfig,
I get the same problem you are having and with Defender, it never happens.
