Doesn’t work in Win 7. Message continues to appear whenever an icon is added to or deleted from the desktop. Since I download everything to my desktop before moving it to the proper folder this is a nightmare. I never installed Nero, or Windows Media Player or any commercial burner/player.

PS – This note found on technet.microsoft.com
—————-
Removing Data Execution Prevention for dllhost.exe is a very bad idea, it opens the machine to a potential security vulnerability (since now the system does not prevent code from residing in pages without the NX bit). So please do not turn off DEP. More information about DEP can be found here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352, while the contents refer to Server 2003, most of it is unchanged for Vista/Server 2008)

Don’t know if that applies to non-server machine.

The best solution is to switch to Windows 7 and leave Vista dead.

Tried the Advanced settings solution, but 64 bit executables aren’t allowed in that solution.
