OK, you don't want Vista's improved(but annoying!) security.

You can do this work in Control Panel
Turn off Windows Defender
In User Accounts turn off UAC(User Account Control)

You are not the only user. There are literally thousands of others who would
be users on your computer if given half a chance. Every third post (it
seems) on the XP newsgroup can be laid at the feet of some bit of malware.

I am aware of malware etc, but i also want to be able to use the PC,
consider this, what is the use of your home to you if you bolt your door
from the outside and stood out in the rain without a key to guard
against a potential burgler.
without the use your home

Hmm. Happened to me about a year ago. I wanted to use my car. There I was,
standing outside the car, with no key. In the rain.

My bad. No one else's. I screwed up.

Fortunately, because of the rain, no one could see my tears.

The only bright spot was that car thieves couldn't get in either...

Career car thieves usually don't "borrow" keys from the owner they just
break in. We can only do precautions but nothing can stop them if they
really want our cars, or for the same matter, hack into our computers.
