Why Disable UAP...
Because under Vista... the way it's set up you are NOT the administrstor...It does a sub-account so to speak for security... if you try to change something it wont let you hence "User Account Protection"....It's anice security feature that is supposed to help...but we'll see..

Security Advances
Windows Vista introduces an improved security model that reduces a system's vulnerability to attack while still empowering applications. In particular, it makes the new User Account Protection (UAP) the default user account, and provides an easy-to-use temporary-privilege elevation model. As a result, malware installations are reduced and more OS functionality is made safely available to non-administrators. Security is further strengthened with a trust-based validation system through Mandatory Integrity Control, and Windows Resource Protection (the follow-on to Windows File Protection) guarantees a stable, read-only view of a running operating system.
Basically it says...The UAP takes the place as administrator... here is the liknk to the whole page...
