For experienced users, User Account Control or UAC in Windows Vista is quite possibly the most annoying 'feature' in existence. You can turn off UAC, but you still get nag reminders telling you that UAC has been turned off every time you start Windows.
How do you turn off those annoying reminders? It takes a registry hack, but you can do it by hand easily and it doesn't take more than a few minutes. It's also a good idea to create a system restore point (google it if you don't know how), because when screwing around with the registry, you have the ability to make mistakes that can permanently hose your operating system. It's also a good idea to export a current copy of your registry to a disk or backup folder so you can re-import it if you make a mistake.
Onto how to actually accomplish said registry hack. First off, your account needs to have administrator rights (computer > manage > local users and groups > groups > administrators > r. click > add to group > add your account).
Next, open regedit (start > run > regedit.exe) and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System
The value of "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" must be 0 ( zero ).
Value 0 = No prompt at all.
Value 1 = Prompt that requires to enter an administrator password(even if you
are an administrator ).
Value 2 = ( Default ). Prompt that requires an acceptance only.
Note: Normal users will be asked to enter an administrative password...
Voila!
