    I have a few programs on my computer that when I want to run them Vista pops up that annoying Allow/Cancel window. I use these programs frequently and it gets really annoying to allow them EVERY time. One of them is installed from a CD and the other two are downloaded from the Internet. I was wondering if there was a way to always allow certain programs, so that window doesn't pop up every time?
