O.P. Tongue  Vista Administrator Account (revealed)
Ok people incase you didn't know about this already, theres a hidden administrator account in windows vista the reason why im posting this is if people are having problems or getting annoyed with the UAC and administrator permissions this hidden account will solve this problem and get rid of them without having to turn it off manually. This is the True Administrator account

Turning on the Administrator account is straightforward.

1. First, open an elevated command prompt by typing cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator

2. Then enter this command and press Enter:

Net user administrator /active:yes

From now on, the Administrator account will appear as an option on the Welcome screen, along with any user accounts you may have set up. Use it like any other account.

If you want to disable the account and hide it, enter this command at an elevated command prompt and press Enter:

Net user administrator /active:no which i doubt you'd want to do :P

This information was provided from here

I actually started using this account a while ago using a different method easier for me unfortunately i forgot where the source is but i will look and if i find it i will post it:) this is only for people using Windows Vista and didnt know about it 
Careful don't summon the fail whale.
