Popups in WinLiveOneCare
"Cheyenne" <Cheyenne[ at ]millect.com> 03.07.2007 14:38:43
How do you prevent startup popups? I have prevented a program [HP Backup
and Recovery Scheduler] from starting and it's rather annoying to get the
taskbar popup that states that OneCare Firewall has blocked Scheduler. This
happens every time at Vista boot.

Thanks, Stephen. It's almost embarrassing that the solution was so simple
that I overlooked it. I was (am) aware of the latter 2 solutions, but they
cause yet another popup.
I wish MS would remove taskbar popups from Vista, or at least disable them
automatically after several startups. They're as bad as a nagging wife.
