What is UAC?
Windows Vista user account system has been built to automatically reduce the potential of security breeches. It does that by automatically enabling a feature called User Account Control (UAC). The UAC forces users that are part of the local administrators group to run like they were regular users with no administrative privileges.

How do I disable it?
Open Control Panel. Select Admin Tools. Select System Config. Select Tools. Select Disable UAC. Simple as that!
