    Disable user account control

    I am using beta of Vista and come to a rather annoying problem. I am using
    an admin user and have disabled the UAC feature. However, whenever I am
    doing some "high-risks" tasks such as changing the netork security settings
    or file permission, I am always promted the UAC dialogue. Is that a bug or
    there are some other settings that I need to invoke in order to really turn
    off the feature?
