Dagnabbit, I am the admin of my laptop.
I can do stuff after I click OK, but some stuff it will not let you do.
Windows 7 is going to be much better than Vista from what I have been reading up on in CPU magazine.

1. Launch MSCONFIG by from the Run menu.
2. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find "Disable UAC" . Click on that line.
MSCONFIG - Disable Account Protection
3. Press the Launch button.
4. A CMD window will open. When the command is done, you can close the window.
5. Close MSCONFIG. You need to reboot the computer for changes to apply.
You can re-enable UAC by selecting the "Enable UAC" line and then clicking on the Launch button.

Vista will give a constant security warning message on the bottom of your screen, but you can turn that off also.
First thing I do when I install vista, for the rest I really like it and has treated me very well. I love the snipping tool for quickly copying a part of the screen when necessary. Easy for quoting stuff in emails etc.
I also downloaded the Windows 7 RC and am running it on my laptop. No complaints sofar, and UAC can be configured how secure you want it to run. Nice improvement.
