    1. Click Start
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Double-click User Accounts (or type user account in the search box)
    4. Click the option that says "Turn User Account Control on or off"
    5. On the next screen, uncheck the box that says "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer
    6. Click OK
    7. Click Restart Now

    After your computer restarts, the Windows Security shield will be red (by your system clock) and tell you that you are at risk because UAC is disabled. To disable this message, follow these steps

    1. Double-click the red Windows Security shield by your clock (OR, Click Start --> Control Panel and double-click Security Center)
    2. Click the "Change the way Security Center alerts me" option
    3. Click the "Don't notify me and don't display the icon" option

    Also, make sure you upgrade to Service Pack 1 if you haven't already. It fixes MOST of Vista's issues. One of the biggest flaws in "service pack 0" was to do with copying files and using compressed folders.

    Never had it on since the early days of having Vista and have never had an issue mate. Also I am one that thinks Vista runs well....
