Why doesn't Defender Beta 2 like my Outlook 2003 startup shortcut?

[Guest]

Every time I reboot, Defender Beta 2 pops up a ?changed question mark about
the shortcut to Outlook 2003 that I have in my personal (rather than 'All
Users') startup folder. I accept the default handling of this ('Allow') and
dismiss it, only to have the same sequence next time I reboot. This is
getting a little irritating. I know that there are people who don't trust
Microsoft software (and Outlook, in particular), but I wouldn't expect
Microsoft to be among them!!

Defender is in BETA. Enough said.

True, but how do I report the problem to someone who may be able to fix it
for the final version?

But you respond to messages about beta's with useless one liners?

No you didn't answer the question. That's the point. Learn how to pass on
those quetions that you can't contribute something meaningful to.

I was asked a direct question. I answered it. If you don't like the
answer, well, bugger off and try to get over it. Like I said, if you

BTW, your posts to me just now didn't answer the OPs question either.
You are just being a net nanny and I have no use for net nannies.
