== Disable "Windows Has Blocked Some Startup Programs" Balloon ==A program called MSCONFIG (msconfig.exe) has many capabilities including the ability to disable some of the unnecessary programs that automatically load on start-up. Disabling some of these TSR (Terminate-and-Stay-Resident) programs will help your computer boot faster and crash less, while disabling others can be problematic.  Rather than using MSCONFIG you should attempt to remove the unwanted TSR from the Startup group or Run keys of the Windows registry. If you use MSCONFIG to disable startup programs you will notice you get an annoying balloon message each time you login.  The balloon popup message will say "Windows Has Blocked Some Startup Programs."  You can disable the annoying balloon popup and continue to use the feature.  Simply follow these steps:#Right-click on the MSCONFIG icon in the system tray (bottom right) - the place the balloon appears to pop up from.#Select "Run blocked program" and then "System Configuration Utility." #In the "System Configuration" dialog box select the checkbox that says "Don't show this message or start System Configuration when Windows starts."* Microsoft Knowledge Base [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930367 KB-930367]
