I keep getting a message popping up about every 15 minutes - "Windows has
blocked some Startup Programmes. Windows blocks programmes that require
permission to run when windows stops. Click to view the blocked programmes"
How do I stop the message from appearing please?

According to Microsoft, you can disable these, (which you have already
done!), or remove them.
From the Technet forums:
Method 1: Run the blocked program or the blocked service
After Windows Vista starts, you can run any blocked programs or blocked
services by following these steps:1. Click the Blocked startup programs icon
that is in the notification area.
2. Point to Run blocked program, and then click the program or the service
in the list that you want to start.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the
password, or click Continue.

Method 2: Disable the blocked program or the blocked service
To disable a program or a service during the Windows Vista startup process,
follow these steps:1. Click the Blocked startup programs icon that is in the
notification area.
2. Click Show or remove blocked startup programs. This starts Software
Explorer in Windows Defender.
3. Locate, and then click to select the startup program or the startup
service that is in Software Explorer.
4. Click Disable, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

Method 3: Remove the blocked program or the blocked service from the startup
process
To remove a program or a service from the startup process completely, try to
use the Programs and Features item in Control Panel. To do this, follow
these steps:1. Click Start, type appwiz.cpl in the Start Search box, and
then press ENTER.
2. Click the program in the Programs and Features list, and then click
Uninstall/Change.
If you cannot remove the program by using the Programs and Features item in
Control Panel, you can remove the program from the startup process by using
Software Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:1. Click the Blocked
startup programs icon that is in the notification area.
2. Click Show or remove blocked startup programs. This starts Software
Explorer in Windows Defender.
3. Locate, and then click to select the startup program or the startup
service that is in Software Explorer.
4. Click Remove, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
