Vista Guest Account Has Unrestricted Access to the Registry?

I enabled the Guest account on my Vista PC today just for kicks and decided to see exactly what the Guest account had access to. I tried to delete program files, etc. and each time I got a prompt to enter the Administrator password. OK, this is good so far. Then I type regedit in the Search bar and regedit opens up with no UAC prompt and I enter the registry with no problems whatsoever. I even edit the registry and the settings are saved! What's up with this? Is this just happening on my computer? Can anyone else confirm or refute this anomaly?

Thanks
