I thought we could do that by just typing uac in control panel search

You can turn off UAC in the controlpanel.

Its much safer to turn of UAC then using an Administrator account.
When not using UAC with a normal user it is the same as a normal ''administrator'' user account in XP.

You could do that in the cp, but if you do it like this then you don't get the messages that UAC is turned off and you should turn it on. This guide is just for the ones who dont like the messages.

You can turn that off in the Security Center

Yes, Vista requires quite a lot of things turning off in order to get it from its out-of-the-box state to a usable state...

Agreed, especially UAC was driving me nuts initially.

UAC never really bothered me. There is that rare moment that it takes a minute for the message to pop up, but besides that, I'm really not bothered.

Its easier than all that group policy faff, just open a command prompt and type;

net user administrator /active:yes

Ive come across a couple of applications that simply will not run without at least being run once from the Administrator account, stupid, but thats the way it goes sometimes.
