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
