Temporary disable Vista's UAC:

Create batch file with the 2 lines below:

Taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
start C:\Windows\explorer.exe

/F means that the task is killed forcefully, and /IM stands for the image name, i.e. the file name of the process. Be careful with the second line. I had a typo in it which left me with an empty desktop. In such a case you can launch explorer.exe with the Task Manager (CTRL+ALT-DEL -> File -> New Task (Run…)).

You have to run this batch file with admin privileges (right click on it and navigate to “Run as administrator”). The UAC prompt will just be displayed once. After that you won’t see it again in this session. Note that not only those applications where its icon contains a UAC shield will be launched automatically with admin privileges, but also those programs which should never be elevated (Internet Explorer for example).
The AutoComplete feature does not work after you enable it in Internet Explorer on a computer that is running Windows XP Home Edition
