is there a way to shut off all the permissions in Vista?

Hi I reformatted the computer back to xp for now. Is there a way to shut off
all the permissions to continue in vista. If there is I`ll put it back on.
but I do alot of work on the computer and it got annoying have to give it
permission constantly. I know vista is about security but it has gone alittle
to far. Also I got tired of having to try and get a program working . Run as
admin wouldn`t work or it was too hard to get permission set up as admin.
I`m the only one that runs this computer and noone else touches. So if there
was a way to change it . I would appreciate it.

Hi Gorden, Most of the time the admin account worked but there was a few
programs I was trying to get set up wouldn`t let me take over as Admin so I
deleted them. I would go into proterties and in the permissions and the take
over admin would be greyed out on them and I would play around with the user
account and still couldn`t get it ungrey. So I just went back to xp for now.
thanks
