I just installed 1.4.3-5 (over 1.4.3-4) and discovered a new behavior that I assume is by design. Formerly the default icon ran lyx.bat, which in turn started lyx.exe. Now the icon runs lyx.exe, which apparently writes a temporary file (something.tmp) that in turn runs lyxc.exe.

Well, some of us run personal firewalls (ZoneAlarm in my case) on our PCs. Every time I start LyX now, ZoneAlarm needs me to bless it, because a temp file starting another program is (rightly) deemed suspicious. Better still, I can tell ZoneAlarm to remember permissions I grant (so that I don't get asked again), but since the temp file changes each time, this won't work. Every time I start LyX, I need to give ZA an 'OK' response. Not horrible (it's just one more click), but a tad tedious.
