Fix for Windows has blocked some startup programs Error in Vista

When you start a Windows Vista-based computer, you receive the following Windows warning message in the notification area at the far right of the taskbar

Windows has blocked some startup programs.

This issue occurs because a program or a service that has User Account Control (UAC) restrictions tries to start during the Windows Vista startup process or logon process. User Account Control is a set of infrastructure technologies that helps prevent malicious programs, sometimes called “malware,” from damaging your computer. Software Explorer blocks programs or services that require User Account Control confirmation.
