    Windows Vista Home Basic: Every time I boot I get the message "Windows has blocked some startup programs." I don't care if Windows has blocked the programs. It can keep on blocking them. I would just like the warning to go away without me having to click and exit every time. How can I do that?

    is your machine in normal start up mode or selective start up?

    It's in Normal Startup mode. When I look at the blocked programs box it doesn't show ANY programs blocked. It does show some the are "not yet classified" as follows:

    Juno Internet not yet classified
    Hpsysdrv not yet classified
    N/A not yet classified
    HP DVDPlay not yet classified
    DeleteMe1.exe not yet classified

    I don't know what N/A and DeleteMe1.exe are.

    I think DeleteMe1.exe relates to quicktime...see here

    some more info but I just don't personally know how to stop the annoying message unless those items are actually being blocked. Will follow this thread with interest as I am new to vista

    I found DeleteMe1.exe also, and it appears that it can be for Quicktime or it can be malware. I don't get any indications that it's malware when I do a virus check (Avast!) of a spyware check (Spybot SD), so I guess it's OK. I've tried a registry cleaner, virus and spyware checks, but it still does the same thing. It doesn't actually show that any programs are blocked--it just says the some are blocked, but when you look, none are flagged as blocked, so I can't run or delete them. What's up with that?
