To disable UAC on Vista 64 bit:

1. Launch MSCONFIG by from the Run menu. (Type MSCONFIG into search box.)
2. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find "Disable UAC" . Click on that line.
    
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.

Oh that's how you get to the RUN menu! By typing MSCONFIG into the search box. I was looking for RUN through START----->RUN and couldn't find it.

These tips are great. They'll come in handy until I get the money to get XP Pro. After shelling out monies for a new computer, I'm spent!  I might can tolerate this system if I can get all these things to go away!
