Blocked Programs on Startup
I had to disable some programs from startup on my Vista laptop. I get the popup message that Windows has disable some programs on startup. That's fine, but this window keeps popping up every 5 to 10 minutes. Is there a way to disable this notification?

Richard,
Did you use msconfig to disable the items? If so, that could be whats causing the popup. Msconfig wants to tell you you disabled some start items after you reboot, but Vista's UAC won't let that msconfig notification run, so you get the popup over and over again.
Look at the blocked program lists, see if 'system configuration utility' is one of them. If so, click on 'run blocked programs', then check the box 'don't show this again' when msconfig comes up.
