itdont like doing something with your CPU!

just installed vista myself, but havent tried burning anything, i want to get ride of the annoying "something is access this, do you want to let it run" when you go to anything like network details and crap.
 
Mr.Guv, if you enable the Administrator account and log on with that, it no longer asks those questions constantly.

EDIT:
Heres the process, for anyone interested.
1. Logon as the account you created during the installation.
2. From the Start menu, go to "All Programs", "Accessories"
3. Right-click on "Command Prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
4. Click "Allow" from the ConsentUI prompt
5. In the resulting Command window, enter "regedit" and press enter
6. In regedit, browse to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
7. Add a new key at that level called SpecialAccounts
8. In the SpecialAccounts key, create a sub-key called UserList
9. At this point the path is: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
10. In the UserList key, create a new value of type DWORD (32 bit) called Administrator and set the value to 1.
11. From the command prompt enter: "net user Administrator /Active:yes"
12. Reboot, and now you can logon to the Administrator account

Alternatively, you can go to:

1. Control Panel
2. User Accounts (if you have more than one account, pick yours)
3. Change Security Settings
4. Uncheck the box that says "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer"
5. Reboot

No more annoying security pop-ups and confirmations when trying to do anything.
 
Glad to see there is an easy way to disable it for each account. I admire the security effort, but that is damn annoying.
