My first question is why do you need to turn off UAC? If you do need to do
it though, try this method. Winkey + R (Run..... box) type MSCONFIG and hit
enter. In the Tools tab, you'll see an option that says Disable UAC. click
that, then click Launch. Reboot, and it's disabled.

I highly recommend that after you install whatever you're needing it turned
off for, that you go back into MSCONFIG and Enable UAC again. It's there
for your protection (and our protection as well).

HTH.
