If the exe is unsigned, then Windows will complain everytime it is run. If it is signed with a fully resolved certificate (not a self created one), then it will show the publisher in the dialog and depending on your security settings will either ask you if you want to be asked the next time or

I'm also learning MSEgui from a few weeks. It was very hard start but now I love it.
