Powerhouse Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Upon the first run of Diskeeper9 (after a fresh Unattended install), it checks for updates online. This prompts WindowsXP Security Center to pop up a warning that basically says "some features of this program have been blocked" and it gives you the option to unblock them.Is there a registry setting I could add, to unblock Diskeeper by default?

1chaoticadult Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 (edited) Use regshot to make snapshots of your registry before and after and then compare it and find the registry key Windows XP Security Center makes. Then make a reg file. Edited October 26, 2004 by drthawhizkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerhouse Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 The above post appears to be for Diskeeper 8 (but it could work for 9 I would guess). However, after doing some testing, it appears that it's Windows Firewall that is causing the issue. So here is the Registry key to add Diskeeper to the ok list...[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List]"C:\\Program Files\\Executive Software\\Diskeeper\\Diskeeper.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Executive Software\\Diskeeper\\Diskeeper.exe:*:Enabled:DISKEEPER.EXE"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List]"C:\\Program Files\\Executive Software\\Diskeeper\\Diskeeper.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Executive Software\\Diskeeper\\Diskeeper.exe:*:Enabled:DISKEEPER.EXE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
