to disable UAC
go to start and in the search type "msconfig"
and open the program
then go to the "tools" tab
scroll down to "disable UAC"
youll have to restart for it to take effect, it wont turn on unless you re-enable it
happy hunting folks, lemme know if this works for you

I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit, with UAC still enabled.
SHIII, the 1.4b patch (with starforce patch), GWX 1.03/SH Commander all installed and working just fine.
The simple thing to do (and it's posted all over the this site) is simply install all your games/programs outside of the default "program files" directory. Everything I've installed is in my user space, in folders like "games" (or named whatever you want). Doing so will completely negate the UAC as it only applies itself to installs into "program files".
I put SHIV in my user space as well, so that JSGME would work as it should (which it does, since UAC has been effectively bypassed).
P.S. sure, this merely points out the absurditity of the whole UAC implentation by MS, but it leaves it intact for MS OS/software updates, patches and hotfixes, but doesn't get in the way of using your older programs (some, anyway, e.g. - Jane's USAF will not run useably under Vista, although Janes WWII fighters is fine).
