I blocked a program from the start-up list and now everytime I start vista 64
I get a message "I have blocked programs on start up". In win XP I could
elect not to get the message. How do I do this in Vista?

Dogin,
What I have always done in XP was to run msconfig and identify the registry
key that launches the program and then delete it in the registry, using
regedit.exe.
That way I get rid of annoying messages on next boot.
Make a backup of the registry key (export it) in case you need it again in
the future

Thanks, I will do that if there is no turn off mechanism like in win XP.

Hello,
Did you block the programs using msconfig?
you can run msconfig /commit:n
N is number of the tab that you want to commit,
For startup programs on Windows Vista my TAB is 4 so I would make the
changes
Then run msconfig /commit:4 to commit the changes
You should be prompted to confirm before it happens
Thanks,
